Slow start hurt Broncos at Houston, but they’re confident they can bounce back: “These next five games, it’s put up or shut up”

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:28 GMT

Almost any NFL team that wins five straight games has to do a lot of things well and also catch a little bit of luck along the way.Such was the case for the Broncos between Oct. 19 and Sunday, when they reeled off victories in all kinds of ways — last-second heart-stoppers, grind-it-out slugfests and convincingly powerful wins against Kansas City and Cleveland.Perhaps underrated as a strong point for Sean Payton’s team in that run: The Broncos jumped out to a lead in all five games, allowing themselves to play from ahead and, thus, play exactly how they wanted to.They led Green Bay 9-0, Kansas City 7-0 (and 14-3), Buffalo 9-0,  Minnesota 3-0 and Cleveland 14-0. The only points the Broncos surrendered in the first quarter came on a field goal from Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and only the Vikings led at all in the first half.The defense otherwise had come out of the gates humming, and the offense more or less figured out a way to put at least some points on the board early in games....

Orange County animal shelter among many facilities facing overcrowding crisis

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:43:28 GMT

Animal shelters across America have been struggling with overpopulation, and the issue is hitting especially hard for one shelter in Tustin that is still reeling from the effects of the massive hangar fire. Officials at Orange County Animal Care say that the number of adoptions is not keeping up with the number of dogs coming into the shelter, which has at times forced them to care for 100 more dogs than their facility can handle. Officials said the issue only grew worse as pandemic-era work restrictions ended, which led to some who adopted or purchased pets during the lockdown being unable to care for them. Lower heating costs expected after ‘shockingly high’ bills of last winter “[Many] people adopted dogs during COVID,” said Alexa Pratt with O.C. Community Resources. “And as they have been going back to work, they really don’t know what to do with them, so they have been bringing them to shelters.” More than 100 dogs were transported on two charter planes to Ohio due ...

Amid the easily accessible artificial intelligence softwares and social media platforms, the global attention and participation in the crisis surrounding arab settlement near Dead Sea and neighbouring areas, had been massive. The AI technology had been inciting and exacerbating the spread of misinformation propaganda, under which the dissemination of recycled footage of past conflicts and contradictory narratives had already been spreading across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok and Instagram. In several instances, credible sources also amplified the misleading content, worsening the situation.Among these sources are the US-based organizations and think tanks, such as the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD), the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) and Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).
