The female deer had her calf nearby and was spotted trying to chew and break the bone. A study published in the Journal of Animal Health and Behavioural Science, assessing the behavior, said when the deer had been unable to break the bone, it continued to nibble on it. Deers are herbivores, meaning they only eat plants. However, this is not the first time this surprising behavior has been observed....
Showing off is one way to get attention. The East Asian financial crisis has dragged on for two years now, and in subtle ways the slump has pushed the region’s various antagonisms toward the bottom of the global agenda: who cares about a bunch of worn-out tigers? But all along, those antagonisms have continued to grow. Look no farther than Taiwan. Responding partly to a missile buildup in southern China, Washington has agreed to supply Taiwan with more military hardware and early-warning-radar technology....
Defoe has struggled for game time at Bournemouth, though the 35-year-old scored a last-gasp equaliser in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Watford in the Premier League. The 57-cap international has not started a Premier League match since December and while he admitted the situation is frustrating, Defoe is confident he can make an impact for England if called upon by manager Gareth Southgate. “I would come on and win the World Cup, it’s as simple as that,” Defoe said....
The Italian forward made a stunning impact for the Red Devils as a 17-year-old, with a couple of vital goals after being thrust into the first-team fold helping to seal Premier League title success. That was, however, to be as good as it got for the youngster at Old Trafford. As he began to slip down the pecking order, the decision was taken to ignore pleas for him to take in an English loan spell as he instead pushed for a switch to Serie A....
The decision did a lot more than ensure they would outlast the Saints in Sunday’s 35-34 shootout victory. It will resonate in Oakland for the entire season. Week 1 isn’t the end all be all of any NFL season, but Oakland needed that winnable game to turn the corner from promising to playoffs. Who cares if the Raiders mathematically had better odds to win by taking the automatic Sebastian Janikowski extra point and going into overtime?...

In a statement released on Twitter, Steele said she withdrew Senate Bill 1355 because the committee chairman insisted she add an amendment that would protect rapists who assaulted their spouse. “I have worked for months with rape victims who have been forced to co-parent with their rapists and with rape and domestic violence advocacy groups to ensure this is effective and thoughtful legislation,” Steele wrote. “I was forced to pull my bill because the committee chairman held my bill hostage with the demand that I allow an amendment to exempt married victims who are raped by their spouses,” she added....
Ah, but what a five games it’s been. Early signs are that, in the coming months, Cousins will make the Warriors a devastating playoff wrecking ball the likes of which the NBA has not seen for decades, if ever. And because of that, Cousins’ decision last summer to sign with the Warriors on a one-year deal to resurrect his post-surgery value ahead of his coming free agency was a stroke of utter genius....
Center DeMarcus Cousins didn’t mince words when talking about the team’s problems. MORE: George looks good in practice | Griffin misdemeanor case dropped | NBA Draft stock report “It’s been a circus, man. It’s been a complete circus,” Cousins told The Washington Post. “We got off to a hot start. Unfortunately, I got sick, so it ruined the look of the team. I take some blame for that. I know for a fact, if I wouldn’t have gotten sick, things wouldn’t have happened the way it happened....

Yet, the middleweights can’t help but still feel like they were slighted by Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin, who are having their highly-anticipated rematch on Sept. 15. Saunders believes GGG’s camp publicly dangled the possibility of Golovkin facing him to force the rematch between he and Alvarez to happen. This past May, Saunders’s promoter, Frank Warren, even claimed that his boxer signed a contract to face GGG, but that the Kazakhstan fighter never signed his side....
But China’s efforts to whitewash the coup turned out to be as clumsy as the putsch itself. When the plot unraveled, so did Beijing’s celebratory official line. The People’s Daily, the official Communist Party newspaper, prepared a congratulatory edition for Aug. 20–then quickly scrapped it. After muzzling its official Xinhua news agency for several hours, Beijing acknowledged Gorbachev’s comeback as “the choice of the Soviet people.” Finally, Xinhua wrote off the entire subject as an “internal affair” of another country....
“The legislature, if it so chooses, can basically make any governor irrelevant in Kentucky,” Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist, told Newsweek. Jennings has worked on four presidential campaigns and as a senior adviser for a super PAC for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Beshear narrowly defeated Republican incumbent Matt Bevin in the gubernatorial race. With 100 percent of precincts reporting, Beshear had a lead of 5,333 votes out of more than 1....
Emerson Levy, an attorney running to represent House District 53 said she had been “excited” to speak to the business community at the event on Wednesday evening. “I was excited to talk to the business community at the Bend Chamber event, instead my opponent got all of the tickets,” Levy wrote in a tweet. “Every time I spoke grown women heckled me when I stood to speak and while I spoke....
The latest survey from the University of Montana found that a little more than 47 percent of state voters would vote for Bullock were an election held today. By comparison, 43 percent of Montanans told pollsters that they would re-elect Daines—putting the GOP incumbent four points behind his Democratic challenger. A further 9 percent of state voters said they hadn’t decided who they would vote for in the coming Senate race....
McConnell falls back on an old institutional argument—that Democratic Senators may want to use the filibuster when they are in the minority in the future. But Democrats would be wise to ignore McConnell’s advice. The party and its members are much more likely to pay a price for an inability to actually get laws passed than garner much benefit in stopping Republican changes in some unknown future fight. The filibuster, a rule that was likely adopted by accident in the early days of the Republic, has constantly morphed over the years....
We are living through a process defined by a pro-Trump universe and an anti-Trump universe. The great economy, record-low unemployment, the conservative judges, the achievements in renewing the Space program and a host of other positive things are occurring in the pro-Trump universe. However, the willful avoidance of facts and evidence by left-wing media and left-wing Democrats is a sign that there is an alternative anti-Trump universe. The report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz was devastating in its indictment of senior FBI officials—and even more in its repudiation of the lies being told by Democrat House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, who is the public face of the impeachment effort....
According to a new report from Axios, a number of bipartisan senators intervened in the Biden administration’s plan to replace Beasley, asking the White House to extend Beasley’s five-year term instead. “I’ve seen David Beasley in action around the world, making a difference, both raising funds for the World Food Program from countries in the Gulf and in Europe,” Democratic Senator Chris Coons, a key Biden ally, said to Axios....
On Tuesday, Representative Cori Bush, Senator Elizabeth Warren and others introduced the Keeping Renters Safe Act of 2021 to give the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) the authority to halt evictions in the interest of public health. In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the legislation would direct HHS to automatically ban evictions nationwide for all residential renters. The moratorium would be in effect until at least 60 days following the end of the crisis....
