The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued an alert on Thursday, cautioning that two geomagnetic storms were likely to occur on Friday and Saturday. A geomagnetic storm is a major disturbance to Earth’s magnetic field, often triggered when the sun shoots out a cloud of charged particles at our planet. These clouds are known as coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. Geomagnetic storms can have all sorts of effects and come in varying strengths....

The solar eclipse is expected to be properly visible from parts of Canada, Greenland, and northern Russia. Elsewhere, viewers in parts of North America, Europe and Asia may be able to catch a partial view. It is expected to begin at around 8:12 a.m. UTC, (4:12 ET), but the greatest eclipse will be visible at around 10:41 UTC (6:41 ET). Because it is not possible to view the eclipse everywhere—and because it is not safe to look directly at the Sun during an eclipse anyway—astronomers are working to bring the view online....

Apple has been very clear that it plans to reshape how applications gather user data with iOS 14.5, and is now taking steps to put these new guidelines into practice. Multiple developers reportedly have begun to receive notices that their apps have been rejected from the app store because they don’t meet all of the new requirements. Because Apple is taking such control over data collection, experts say it could lead to major changes in how you get new apps....

However, Jaheira is also a tragic character who has endured a lot of trauma across the events of the first two Baldur’s Gate games. Though she has often been a voice of reason - if impulsive and vengeful at times, it would seem that the intervening years between Throne of Bhaal and Baldur’s Gate 3 have only made her grow wiser.

EA Play’s last few moments, at least before the announcement of Skate’s return, did show off some prototype gameplay of what appeared to be a Battlefield game. It’s unclear if it was specifically Battlefield 6, as it showed what looked like World War II soldiers running across an untextured plane. This was likely a re-use of assets in a new/repurposed development environment, so it’s not indicative of a World War II setting or the final product by any means....

While there is still a large following surrounding Bully, as well as constant rumors of a long-awaited sequel, the game originally releasing in 2006 means that it has aged quite significantly. However, when looking back at the title as a whole, there are some aspects of it that are surprisingly forward-thinking and still remarkably unique.

Ambience: With only 14 tables spread over two floors of an old villa on Mellieha’s main street, diners can’t help but feel cozy. The décor is authentic Maltese, with stone floors and hand-brushed walls, enhanced by romantic lighting and soft music. The young Maltese waiters are dishy and knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing. Food: Forget the menu; the best dishes are the seasonal specials. Summer favorites include the Maltese lampuki fish, stuffed with pine nuts and Parmesan, and the red snapper fillet, doused in a garlic-and-parsley sauce....

Gerardo Martino, then, has a great responsibility on his hands going into his first game of the campaign on Sunday, and he has placed his trust in players from his own backyard in order to bring success to the Georgia club. Atlanta’s South American legion are an unknown quantity stateside, but each of Martino’s signings comes with a fine reputation in their home nations to justify the gamble on the franchise’s part....

The popularity of the original Game of Thrones HBO series did not shield the show and its creators from intense criticism during the series run, with headlines like “Game of Thrones: we need to talk about the show’s diversity problem” and “There are no black people on Game of Thrones: Why is fantasy TV so white?” a regular feature of the Monday morning press. The new prequel, House of the Dragon, has by contrast been praised by critics for “fixing” Game of Thrones’ diversity problem, which many even blamed Martin himself for....

However, while analysts expect the housing market to become more affordable in the next two years on a national level, some areas of the U.S. will not experience significant home-price declines, according to investment bank Goldman Sachs—quite the opposite. While the Pacific Coast and Southwest regions—which have seen the largest increases in inventory on average—will report the largest price declines, according to Goldman Sachs, the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest will experience significantly more-modest falls....

Rep. Brad Wenstrup, an Ohio Republican, landed in the capital city for a three-day trip that would include meetings with Taiwan’s leadership, the ministry’s press release said. Wenstrup is an Iraq War veteran and ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee’s Defense Intelligence and Warfighter Support Subcommittee. Also visiting Taiwan until Thursday were Democratic Reps. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts and Kai Kahele of Hawaii, as well as Republican Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida....

A report published Tuesday by Committee on House Administration Chairperson Zoe Lofgren concluded that the technology existed for the House to conduct remote voting. Although the House authorized voting by proxy in May as a safety measure during the COVID-19 pandemic, Lofgren’s study revolves around an expansion of that system. Some members of the GOP have decried any form of proxy voting. Wednesday’s statement alleged that Democrats would use the remote voting system to avoid in-person discussion of the issues....

Based in Geneva, the UNHRC is comprised of a coalition of nations that advocate for human rights around the world. Although originally a part of the UNHRC, the U.S. withdrew from the council during the administration of former President Donald Trump. Trump’s administration believed the UNHRC was biased against some U.S. allies, including Israel. Biden said during his presidential campaign that he intended to rejoin the UNHRC. In a Friday letter to Biden, the group of House Republicans asked Biden to reconsider his position....

Mayor Sylvester Turner said in a memo to city employees Monday that the mandate was being issued because of a “recent uptick in positive COVID-19 cases in our community and in our workplace linked to the new delta variant.” Governor Greg Abbott repeated his executive order last month banning mask mandates by any state or local government entity. Those who go against the ban are subject to fines of up to $1,000....

To some people, they came from out of nowhere to win the AFC South with a 9-8 record in the final game of the season. However, there was nothing quiet about what the Jaguars did. They won six of their last seven games coming out of the bye week and leveraged that tear into their first playoff berth since 2017. To Jaguars fans, there’s nothing surprising about the Jaguars’ late-season success....

Earlier this month, the VHA announced a new partnership with 3D Systems. The company, which engineers, manufactures, and sells 3D printers, will help the VHA build out its in-house 3D printing capacity. According to the press release, the company will offer up machines and software, help install a quality management system, and train VHA staff in becoming compliant medical device manufacturers. “Point-of-care 3D printing is about investing in patient outcomes—building the means to create patient-matched solutions that don’t exist in the open market,” Beth Ripley, national director of the VHA Printing Network, tells Verywell in an email....

Yes, to the extent possible, we should relocate our medical supply chain. Yes, we should increase America’s manufacturing footprint. Yes, we should modernize our aging infrastructure. Yes, we should invest more in pandemic preparedness for the next crisis. These are all admirable long-term goals for the American economy. However, as businesses begin to reopen, what the economy needs right now more than anything is an immediate surge in consumer demand....
