A Boeing 747-8 that was reconfigured as a VIP jet is being scrapped after the Saudi prince it was bought for died unexpectedly. The plane had spent just over 40 hours in service over 16 flights. The aircraft sat on the ground for 10 years at EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg, which is situated on the borders between France, Switzerland, and Germany. There, it was meant to be fitted with a lavish interior, but after it failed to find a new buyer after its asking price was slashed to $95 million, the plane was eventually flown to Pinal Airpark in Arizona–an “aircraft boneyard” where retired aircrafts get dismantled for parts or stored indefinitely.
Music is a special thing, and video game music is no exception. Even if you’ve only ever picked up one game controller in your life, you may already know that each video game comes with a unique score suited to its narrative themes, atmosphere, and game mechanics. These scores can range from incredible orchestral masterpieces to the 8-bit chiptunes you’d hear on an arcade cabinet, but they all share one thing in common: to help you concentrate on the task at hand, which can be a (literal) game-changer when it comes to working and studying.
Former Republican governor of South Carolina and UN ambassador Nikki Haley announced Tuesday that she will run for president in 2024, becoming the first major rival to challenge Donald Trump’s second presidential bid.

The Kansas City Chiefs have won their second Super Bowl in four seasons, and star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who played on an injured leg, has been crowned with his second NFL MVP award in just 5 seasons of starting as a quarterback. It was an instant-classic Super Bowl game that fans and sports analysts say is sure to cement Mahomes into NFL lore. With their victory at the Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs became the second team in NFL history to come back from a double-digit halftime deficit to win the Super Bowl. Mahomes also became the first player since 1999’s Kurt Warner to win NFL MVP and lead his team to a coveted Lombardi Trophy.
China on Monday accused the United States of “illegally” flying high-altitude balloons into its airspace more than 10 times since January 2022, further heightening tensions between the two superpowers in the fallout of a Chinese balloon that was shot down by American fighter jets on the nation’s east coast a week ago.
“Not true. Not doing it. Just absolutely not true,” White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in a statement to MSNBC. “We’re not flying balloons over China.”
You might be familiar with household names like Guillermo del Toro or Alfonso Cuaron, two Latino directors behind some of Hollywood’s recent hits like “The Shape of Water” and “Roma”. While such figures have been important in advancing opportunities and representation for Latinos in Hollywood, there are plenty whose creative, personal visions haven’t received nearly enough acclaim from the public.

Arkansas’ newly-elected governor and former Trump-era White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave a combative, criticism-filled speech Tuesday on behalf of the GOP in response to Biden’s State of the Union address, telling Americans that “Biden and the Democrats have failed you.”
“They know it and you know it and it’s time for a change,” she said from her office in Little Rock, where the speech was filmed.
A new and first-of-its-kind study from an international team of scientists led by UK’s Newcastle University has found that nearly 15 million people around the globe are at risk from deadly flooding caused by glacial lakes, with around half of those exposed concentrated in just four countries: India, China, Peru, and Pakistan. The phenomenon of glacial lake flooding is formally known as a “glacial lake outburst flood”, or GLOF. As temperatures around the planet continue to rise due to climate change, glaciers are melting at a rapid pace into glacial lakes. If a lake rises too high or the surrounding land and ice give away, the lake could “burst”, sending water and debris rushing down mountains. Living downstream from a glacial lake is incredibly dangerous for this reason.
As many as 75% of Americans don’t meet the USDA’s recommended daily magnesium intake of 420mg. This is a problem, as magnesium, once thought to be involved in 300 of the body’s biochemical processes, is actually involved in over 600 magnesium-dependent enzymatic processes–that’s a big chunk of the body’s cellular reactions. Magnesium is an essential nutrient and electrolyte, yet we just aren’t getting enough. That’s where magnesium-rich foods and supplements come in.
