Pakistan's Kashmala Talat creates national record

 Kashmala finished the qualifying round with 583+19x, falling just short of being in the top 8, merely by one point.

If Kashmala, who scored 290 on day one, had achieved one more point then it would’ve been smooth sailing for her to top 8. The Indian shooter was in 69th place after day one with 284 points but she collected 299 on day two to make a jump.

A rank among the top 6 in the final round would’ve seen Kashmala Talat a place in Paris Olympics. The Pakistani shooter will now have to wait for qualifiers in October to attempt to secure her place in the next Olympics.

However, her score of 583/600 was a new national record in this category. She previously scored 582/600 during this year’s national games to create the record.

Nuralogix's AI app Anura can detect health

NuraLogix, a company that specialises in medical technology, recently introduced its leading health and wellness app, Anura, which takes a 30-second video selfie and uses the information to compile a library of readings about you, TechCrunch reported.

The app is able to identify vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure, mental health-related diagnostics like stress and depression levels, physical characteristics like body mass index and skin age, your level of risk for conditions like hypertension, stroke, and heart disease, and biomarkers like blood sugar levels.

Chief Medical Officer of NuraLogix, Dr Keith Thompson, while talking to CNN about the app, said: "We're using a novel form of remote photoplasmography. We call it 'Transdermal Optical Imaging,' and it's measuring the pulse wave and blood flow and multiple regions within the face.

The AI analyses a 30-second video image of a user's face to reveal blood flow information which is then matched with diagnostics from traditional measuring tools and uploaded to the DeepAffex Affective AI engine The Anura app provides valuable insights into a person's physical and mental health and Nuralogix declared in January that the accuracy of their contactless blood pressure readings had improved, namely to an accuracy equating to a standard deviation of error of less than 8 mmHg.

Moreover, Anura's growth is part of a larger trend in medicine and wellness, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and increased awareness of regular monitoring for health prevention.

Much of the life in the rainforest

Compared to temperate forests, an unusually high percentage of life in the rainforest is found in the trees. Much of this is concentrated in the layers created well above the forest floor by the overlapping branches and leaves of rainforest trees. The conditions of the canopy are strikingly different from those on the forest floor, meaning there are orders of magnitude more ecological niches for species to inhabit. For example, many animals typically thought of as ground-dwelling are arboreal in the rainforest, including salamanders, anteaters, and even crabs.

When plants grow they sequester atmospheric carbon in their tissues via the process of photosynthesis. Because rainforests are full of large trees and other plants, they store massive amounts of carbon. But when they are burned or chopped down, much of that carbon is released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (nitrous oxide, methane, and other nitrogen oxides). The clearing and burning of tropical forests and peatlandsaccounts for about ten percent of greenhouse gases from human activities.

Virtually all deforestation is The biggest drivers of deforestation are agriculture — both industrial and subsistence — and cattle ranching. Much of this production is not consumed locally — instead it is sent to cities or overseas. That means consumers who may live far away from rainforests are usually at least partly responsible for the destruction of these beautiful and important landscapes.

Watch Yellowstone wolves bring 'toys

An adorable post shared by Yellowstone National Park, however, is a reminder that our canines still have more in common with their ancestors than we give them credit for.

The video, shared to the national park’s Facebook page Tuesday, was recorded by Yellowstone biologists in spring of this year. In the video, gray wolves can be seen trotting back to their dens with gifts in-mouth.

While gray wolves living in the national park don’t exactly have access to squeaky balls and pull ropes, they still enjoy something to chew on, said the national park’s post. Instead of returning home empty-handed when a hunt is unsuccessful, adult wolves can be seen in video clips returning with antlers, animal bones and sticks, presumably to serve as teething remedies for bite-y puppies.

In a series of clips, adults belonging to a group called “Mollie’s Pack” can be seen strutting past wildlife cameras with “toys” of various sizes between their teeth. The videos were compiled throughout the spring, as litters are generally born mid-April. By late October, the pups begin traveling with the pack and learning to hunt.

Florida beyond beaches and theme parks:

With an impressive 175 sites to explore within the Florida State Parks system, you might be wondering where to start. Here are the most one-of-a-kind Florida state parks (and where to stay nearby) with unusual attractions and features that make them

worthy travel adventures on any Florida family vacation Sinkholes occur when acidic groundwater dissolves limestone over a period of time and causes the roof of a cavity to eventually collapse. The sinkhole at this Florida state park has been attracting observers since the 1880s, and it’s easy to see why—all the vegetation growing on the walls gives the sinkhole a rainforest feel, and the tall trees surrounding it make the park a great place to escape the Florida heat.

You can explore this Florida state park on foot, by bicycle, or on horseback via more than 100 miles of multi-use trails, or take a guided buggy tour for an elevated view of the prairie.

Opened in August 1935, the 9,000-acre Highlands Hammock is one of Florida's first state parks and it's home to more rare and endemic species than any other state park in Florida. Bring your binoculars and camera in case you’re lucky enough to spot a gopher tortoise, Florida panther, black bear, or cardinal air plant as you wander under the shady tree canopy

Hersha Parady, who played Alice Garvey

Peverall previously opened up about Parady's medical condition on a GoFundMe page he created to raise funds for the actress’s care. He said his mother was suffering from meningioma, a tumor that originates from the meninges, the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord.

This illness has robbed her of her strength, her memory, and sadly, her vibrant personality," Peverall wrote at the time. "She has become largely bedridden, and it is very difficult to see my mom, who was once full of life and energy, now struggling with basic daily activities."

Born in May 1945, Parady made her foray into television in the early '70s with a guest role on the action-adventure series "Bearcats

Parady became a household name on TV when she landed the role of Alice Garvey on the family drama "Little House on the Prairie." Co-starring alongside Melissa Gilbert, Michael Landon and Karen Grassle, Parady appeared on the Emmy-winning show from 1976-1980.

Following her four-year stint on "Little House," Parady set her sights on feature film stardom in the '80s and '90s with roles in the 1984 thriller "Courage," the 1986 sci-fi flick "Hyper Sapien: People from Another Star," the 1995 sports drama "The Break" and the 1996 TV movie “The Babysitter’s Seduction.
