Homeworld 3 is a real-time strategy video game developed by Blackbird Interactive and published by Gearbox Software. The game was released on May 13, 2024. Homeworld 3 is a 3D real-time strategy game set in space. According to the developers, following the responses to partner surveys, the game boasts an extensive campaign mode, giving solo gameplay an important role.[1] As with the other games in the franchise, combat gameplay is built around an effective 3D ballistics system.[2] One of the new major gameplay features is huge megaliths and trenches; massive space structures that will add coverage strategies for small spacecraft.[3][4] The game includes a new co-op mode that "will fuse Homeworld’s RTS gameplay with a roguelike structure"[5] After their victory over the Vaygr (as played out in Homeworld 2), Hiigara entered a golden age that lasted for over a century, with the discovery of a vast hyperspace gate network developed by an ancient race known as the Progenitors. However, a new danger known simply as "the Anomaly" began to emerge in deep space, causing disruptions in the network. Karan S'jet, the original Fleet Command, led a fleet to investigate and disappeared without a trace. Twenty years later, Karan's chosen successor, Imogen S'jet, becomes Fleet Command for a new Mothership, the Khar-Kushan.[6][7] Almost immediately upon its launch, the Khar-Kushan is informed by the commanders of the Hiigaran Navy that an unknown threat is weaponizing hyperspace in the Anomaly. Using the functioning parts of the gate network, the Khar-Kushan sets a course for Noctuua-27, believed to be the source of the Anomaly, but is diverted and severely damaged while en route. While en route to a Progenitor repair facility, the mysterious enemy is revealed as the Incarnate, using salvaged Progenitor technology and bound to the will of a "Queen". They also recover a frigate from the lost fleet and discover an encoded message from Karan to Imogen, giving the location of her Mothership, the Khar-Sajuuk. The Incarnate Queen makes contact with Imogen, identifying herself as an ancient being called Tiaa'Ma, who seeks to use the power of hyperspace to bend reality to her will, and invites Imogen to join her. After the Mothership is repaired, Imogen follows the coordinates to the Khar-Sajuuk, finding the ship encased in an ice field. Karan is found alive, and explains to Imogen that they must break Tiaa'Ma's control over hyperspace by bringing her what she wants: the three original Hyperspace Cores developed by the Progenitors (discovered in the first two games). The Khar-Kushan travels alone to Noctuua-27, where Imogen deceives Tiaa'Ma into believing she is joining her cause, allowing her to get close enough to her "temple", a massive gate-ship called the Lament. Imogen summons Karan and the fleet and delivers the three Cores, combining their power with the Khar-Kushan's synthetic cores to trap the Lament in hyperspace, while Karan sacrifices herself to join Tiaa'Ma in "shared oblivion". The result overloads the Khar-Kushan's hyperspace drive and disables the gate network. Though stranded in deep space and cut off from contact with Hiigara, the fleet chooses to follow Imogen as their Fleet Command. The Homeworld series dates back to 1999. Following THQ's purchase of intellectual property rights to the franchise, further developments were halted after the release of Homeworld 2 in 2003. The franchise was dormant until 2013 when its rights were bought from THQ by Gearbox Software.[8] The announcement of Homeworld 3 follows the release of the Homeworld Remastered Collection, as well as the prequel Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. The Remastered Collection's positive critical reviews and as well as the Deserts of Kharak's sales performance were enough[citation needed] to convince publisher Gearbox and the affiliated development studio Blackbird Interactive to follow up with the creation of a new game, in direct continuity with the original saga.[9] The development of the game started around 2017[10] and, despite being already fully funded by Gearbox, Blackbird Interactive launched a successful mixed crowdfunding/investment campaign on Fig in late 2019 which went on to generate the highest donation average in the platform's history.[11][12] Along with this campaign, the team allows contributors to take part in exclusive surveys, in order to determine which elements of the original trilogy were most appreciated and hence guide future development.[13] Some key personnel from the original development studio Relic (now working for Blackbird Interactive) are among the teams developing the game, namely design director Rob Cunningham, score creator Paul Ruskay, and Homeworld Cataclysm's writer Martin Cirulis.[14][15][10] The number of people working on the game is about 40.[10] Gearbox was acquired by Embracer Group in February 2021. As a result, Gearbox had to cancel the investment portion of the Fig campaign in June 2021, prior to obtaining money from those that had pledged to invest. No change was made to those that backed the game through the crowdfunding mechanism.[16] On June 10, 2022 it was revealed that Homeworld 3 has been delayed to the first half of 2023[17][18] and on August 23, during the Gamescom the first gameplay trailer was released.[19] In May 2023, the game was delayed to February 2024.[20] On December 1, 2023, Gearbox announced that the game would be released on March 8, 2024.[21] On February 7, 2024, the developers stated the release would be delayed to May 13.[22][23] Blackbird Interactive has adjusted the release timeline for Homeworld 3, announcing that two DLC packs will now launch in November 2024, earlier than the planned 2025 date. Alongside these paid expansions, free updates will include additional gameplay features and improvements to the War Games mode, enhancing ship mechanics and resource management. New factions are also set to be introduced. However, concerns have emerged that this accelerated schedule could impact long-term post-launch support for the game. [24] Homeworld 3 - Wikipedia

The hoatzin (/hoʊˈætsɪn/ hoh-AT-sin)[note 1] or hoactzin (/hoʊˈæktsɪn/ hoh-AKT-sin) (Opisthocomus hoazin)[4] is a species of tropical bird found in swamps, riparian forests, and mangroves of the Amazon and the Orinoco basins in South America. It is the only extant species in the genus Opisthocomus[5] which is the only extant genus in the Opisthocomidae family under the order of Opisthocomiformes.[6] Despite being the subject of intense debate by specialists, the taxonomic position of this family is still far from clear. The hoatzin is notable for its chicks having primitive claws on two of their wing digits; the species also is unique in possessing a digestive system capable of fermentation and the effective breaking-down of plant matter, a trait more commonly known from herbivorous ungulate-ruminant mammals and some primates. This bird is also the national bird of Guyana, where the local name for this bird is Canje pheasant. The hoatzin is pheasant-sized, with a total length of 65 cm (26 in), and a long neck and small head. It has an unfeathered blue face with maroon eyes, and its head is topped by a spiky, rufous crest. The long, sooty-brown tail is bronze-green tipped with a broad whitish or buff band at the end.[7] The upper parts are dark, sooty brown-edged buff on the wing coverts, and streaked buff on the mantle and nape. The underparts are buff, while the crissum (the undertail coverts surrounding the cloaca), primaries, underwing coverts, and flanks are rich rufous-chestnut, but this is mainly visible when the hoatzin opens its wings. It is a noisy bird, and makes a variety of hoarse calls, including groans, croaks, hisses, and grunts.[5] These calls are often associated with body movements, such as wing spreading. Young wing claws Hoatzin chicks have two claws on each wing. Immediately after hatching, they can use these claws, and their oversized feet, to scramble around the tree branches without falling into the water.[8] When predators such as the great black hawk attack a hoatzin nesting colony, the adults fly noisily about, trying to divert the predator's attention, while the chicks move away from the nest and hide among the thickets. If discovered, however, they drop into the water and swim under the surface to escape, then later use their clawed wings to climb back to the safety of the nest. This has inevitably led to comparisons to the fossil bird Archaeopteryx, but the characteristic is rather an autapomorphy, possibly caused by an atavism toward the dinosaurian finger claws, whose developmental genetics ("blueprint") presumably is still in the avian genome. Since Archaeopteryx had three functional claws on each wing, some earlier systematists speculated that the hoatzin was descended from it, because nestling hoatzins have two functional claws on each wing. Modern researchers, however, hypothesize that the young hoatzin's claws are of more recent origin, and may be a secondary adaptation from its frequent need to leave the nest and climb about in dense vines and trees well before it can fly.[5] A similar trait is seen in turacos, whose nestlings use claws on their wings to climb in trees.[9] https://external-preview.redd.it/5T6FsoQaoDWEr8npc8bcfrUYNezL_EKimSK1cdnphz4.jpg?auto=webp&s=a02fa36911789c4a15d71d3488fec69c718faa1a Hoatzin - Wikipedia

Enter the K 1200 S, with its Hayabusa-beating claimed power of 167bhp and such gadgetry as electronic suspension. Not to mention the traditional BMW hideous paint scheme. I was really looking forward to riding the new bike in Germany with its unrestricted speed limits and neighbouring Austria with its twisty Alpine roads. To start, I select ‘comfort’ suspension mode in the car park via the bar mounted button and, despite a hefty breakfast of some odd looking sausages, I leave the rear spring preload in one-person mode. Out of the car park and I decide to whack it open in first gear to see if I can encourage the 167bhp to either leave a decent black line or hoick the front up. Disappointingly, not a lot happens. The bike accelerates forward but, rather than the tyre shredding thrust I expected, it feels stifled and although it makes reasonably good progress it is nothing like the kick you get from a Hayabusa, ZX-12R or even a Blackbird. It almost feels restricted and there is a slight pause between the throttle being opened and the acceleration starting. Being a BMW, it will pass all emissions tests until the natural resources of the world run out, so my first thoughts are that this may be the cause of the slightly lacklustre motor. The K 1200 S is in its natural territory on the Autobahn. The seating position is the perfect stretch to the high-ish bars, while the pegs are positioned in just the right place to create a real all-day riding position with a deeply padded seat. During the day’s riding, we cover around 300 miles and it never once gets uncomfortable. The new design screen means that a slight dip of the shoulders is all that’s needed to get the full benefit of its protection from windblast, while the clocks clearly show all the necessities, including a gear indicator and fuel gauge. In fact, the only thing that puts a down on the straight-line touring potential is a slight vibration from the engine at lower revs, but this smooths off at higher rpm. With the open road ahead, I decide to test the top speed and hold the throttle open in top. Again, rather than the rush of acceleration I expected, the BMW accelerates gently away and reaches an indicated 160mph, with a bit to go. Considering the potential owners of this bike, I don’t really feel the need to push it any further. But those who did mention a slight unsteady feel at high speeds, close to the 175mph maximum. But personally, I didn’t notice this. If you have the urge to test this in the UK, you’ll be glad to know the mirrors are excellent. At low revs the gearbox is clunky, especially going from neutral into first where it engages with a thud. Again, this smooths off at higher revs but it isn’t the slickest of gearboxes. Off the Autobahn and onto twisty roads, I attack the first couple of bends with the suspension still set in ‘comfort’ mode. The slightly uneven roads soon have the bike bouncing up and down on its suspension, so I select ‘sports’ mode. I have to say I thought this whole electronic suspension thing would turn out to be a bit of a gimmick, but it works really well. The bounce disappears and the whole bike is transformed. Considering it’s quite long, the BMW actually handles really well. It doesn’t have the top-heavy feeling and slight flop into corners of a Hayabusa and feels solid and planted at angles up to knee-down. The pegs are never in danger of touching down, despite being set at a comfortable riding position, and it is a fun machine on which to explore the twisty roads. The engine seems to have quite a linear power delivery and will pull top gear from as low as 2000rpm smoothly, if not that fast, so gear changing is kept to a minimum. Unless you come to overtake anything. I am surprised to find that if you get caught behind a slow moving car, you often have to shift down a couple of gears to get some drive from the engine. I thought it was meant to have 167bhp, surely it should be able to accelerate faster in top gear? I reckon someone at BMW is telling porkies and if it makes over 135bhp on a dyno I will be amazed – but that’s just my opinion. A Hayabusa makes a genuine 160bhp. The servo assisted ABS brakes are powerful, if lacking in feel, and rapidly bring the bike to a halt. But I still can’t quite get on with the system. My main gripe, apart from the lack of feel, is that when the ABS kicks in it simply lets go of the brakes, which is really unnerving. Hit a bump and where normally the tyre may chirrup slightly, the ABS has a panic attack, releases the brakes and causes you to stop braking. I am assured this is something you get used to with time, and the trick is to simply not let go of the lever, but it still worries me when the brakes feel like they suddenly stop working!

The many dangers of a sedentary lifestyle are well-known already. But did you know it can speed up the biological clock and accelerate the risk of chronic diseases? In a recent study led by Ryan Bruellman, University of Colorado at Boulder, it was observed that spending most of the time of the day sitting can affect health negatively, causing heart and other diseases. Between spending time in long commutes, sitting for our desk-based jobs and spending our weekends scrolling through digital content, we tend to sit or lie down a lot.

This can make us prone to chronic illnesses. ALSO READ: Dangers of sedentary lifestyle: 8 ways sitting for too long is killing you Results of the study: The study was conducted on 1,000 former or current Colorado residents, including 730 twins. It addressed the common assumption that people do not need to worry about their health till their middle age. Lead researcher Ryan Bruellman, in a statement, said that young adults have the common belief that they are bulletproof to the impacts of ageing. They think that they do not need to worry about their health till they are in their 50s or 60s. However, what they do in their young age matters a lot. The research was conducted on adults between the age of 28 and 49. On average, the participants reported sitting for about nine hours every day. In extreme cases, some reported sitting for 16 hours in a day. ALSO READ: Do you sit for long hours? Here’s how it’s slowly killing you; experts suggest ways to get over the sedentary slump The two key indicators of heart and metabolic health – Body Mass Index (BMI) and the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL), also known as the Cardiac Risk Ratio were checked in these participants. Higher BMI and TC/HDL levels were observed in participants who sat for more hours in the day, even when they adhered to the recommended 20 minutes of physical activity in the day. Hence, the study proved that more we spend our time sitting, older we look in the health markers. Antidote to prolonged sitting: However, the study observed that vigorous exercise can help in reversing the ill effects of prolonged sitting. It was seen that people who performed intense exercise for at least 30 hours a day, showed health markers at least 5-10 years younger. Sitting on office desk for long hours?

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas won reelection Tuesday, defeating U.S. Rep. and former NFL linebacker Colin Allred in the state's U.S. Senate race. Allred, 41, was a star high school athlete from Dallas who played linebacker at Baylor University in Waco before he spent four seasons in the NFL with the Tennessee Titans. He appeared in 32 career games and started two, accounting for 46 tackles. He later became a civil rights attorney after retiring. In his concession speech at his watch party in Dallas, Allred said he called Cruz and congratulated him on his victory. "It shouldn't be remarkable to have to admit defeat," he said. "You can't just be a patriot when your side wins. Tonight we didn't win, but we will continue to be patriots." Cruz, who ran for president in 2016, originally came to the Senate after a stint as Texas' solicitor general. His victory secures a third term in the Senate. The Associated Press contributed to this story. CINCINNATI -- Joe Burrow didn't notice, but it seems many who watched Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders did. During the Cincinnati Bengals' 41-24 win over Las Vegas, Burrow was seen on broadcast cameras scowling and looking generally upset despite the positive performance. The Bengals won their first home game of the season after dropping their first four, and Burrow became the first player this season to throw five or more touchdowns in multiple games. After the game, Burrow said that unless the team achieves perfection, there wasn't much to be happy about. Two days later, Burrow said he didn't see all the social media chatter about his disposition and said his demeanor could be better at times. But he noted the nonverbal expressions are part of his growth as a leader. "Maybe I could have not let my emotions show quite as much, but it's also something that I've tried to do more and I know people in the locker room have wanted me to do a little more, whether good or bad," Burrow said. "But I can't show my emotion positively and then when things don't go well, not let that be known as well." Former Titans LB Colin Allred loses U.S. Senate race in Texas - ESPN

In a testy exchange in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of sowing the "divisions" that led to the violent clash between Sikh separatists and Hindu worshippers outside a Hindu temple in Brampton on the weekend. The question period exchange kicked off with Trudeau calling Poilievre's silence on the violence in South Asian communities "deafening." Poilievre accused Trudeau of using the issue to distract from domestic economic issues. "So he uses divisions here at home. These divisions are the result of him," Poilievre said. "Now we see sectarian riots on the streets of Brampton. This never happened before this prime minister. Does he take ownership for the divisions he's caused and the violence that has resulted?" Repeating a line he's used often in question period recently, Trudeau called on Poilievre go through the security clearance process so he can be briefed by Canada's intelligence and security agencies about threats to Canada. The leaders' comments add to an already tense police situation that threatens to worsen the already deteriorating diplomatic relationship between Canada and India. On Monday, police broke up a second day of protests outside a Brampton, Ont., Hindu temple where violent clashes have led to arrests and triggered a public safety alert. The violence broke out midday Sunday at the Hindu Sabha Mandir temple in Brampton, as Indian consular officials were visiting.

Stocks closed sharply higher Tuesday, rebounding from the previous session's losses, as investors awaited the results of the tightly contested U.S. presidential election. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite gained 1.2% and 1.4%, respectively, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 1%. The major indexes, coming off losses last week, had fallen on Monday as investors positioned ahead of the election and the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates later this week. Large-cap technology stocks led the rally on Tuesday. Shares of AI investor favorite Nvidia (NVDA) rose 2.8%, while Apple (AAPL) Microsoft (MSFT), Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta Platforms (META), Broadcom (AVGO) and Tesla (TSLA) were all gaining ground. Nvidia once again overtook Apple at the top of the list of the world's most valuable companies in early trading. Among other noteworthy movers, Palantir (PLTR) shares jumped 23%, leading S&P 500 gainers, to an all-time high after the analytics software provider released better-than-expected quarterly results and a rosy outlook, boosted by demand for its AI offerings. Shares of GlobalFoundries (GFS) led the Nasdaq, rising 15% after the chipmaker released its results. Among Dow components, Intel (INTC) advanced 3.6%, recovering from a steep drop yesterday that followed news the struggling chipmaker would be replaced in the blue-chip index by Nvidia later this week. Boeing (BA) shares were down 2.6% even as the plane maker's machinists voted to approve a new labor contract, putting an end to a crippling seven-week strike. The yield on 10-year Treasurys, which is sensitive to expectations about where interest rates are headed, was at 4.28%, down from a high of 4.37% this morning. The yield has been rising in recent weeks as investors have recalibrated their thinking about how aggressive the Fed will be in cutting interest rates. The central bank is widely expected to trim its benchmark lending rate by a quarter percentage point at its policy meeting on Thursday. Crude oil futures were up about 1% after surging yesterday following news that the OPEC+ group of oil-producing nations had agreed to extend output cuts. Gold futures were little changed at around $2,750 an ounce, while bitcoin was trading at around $69,500, up from overnight lows around $68,000.
