“I’m hoping that the next time we make a report, we’ll be singing Hosannas instead of just giving you a news report.” “So, in other words, the state is standing behind those two revenue bonds, which again provides additional security not only to the village and the county but also to the taxpayers of both.” “Perhaps most importantly, Racine County is a business-friendly community that is welcoming to development,” he added. The Village still owns a considerable amount of land, which Foxconn officials had previously said they were considering using for an electric vehicle manufacturing site. “We know they’re not at that required value,” Lois said at a Racine County Board informational meeting on the Foxconn project last week. “I think sometimes it’s misunderstood and not fully appreciated.” Intel also considered developing on the site. After the company repeatedly changed its plans for the site, the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. under the administration of Gov. Tony Evers renegotiated the deal in 2021. Instead, the multinational corporation remains the only corporation that has built on the site. “You know, $350,000 a year. Lois offered that as an assurance to County Board members. Mount Pleasant is counting on the Foxconn tax revenue to pay bondholders who lent money for the improvements to the site.

Snake River (World Atlas)

Snake River serves as the Columbia River's largest tributary. With a length of over 1000 miles, the river drains Wyoming, Washington, and Idaho.

This, in turn, leads to a decrease in the river's overall oxygen concentration, as microorganisms such as algae increase in number due to the nutrients and use up more of the river's oxygen. Throughout the years, Snake River has come increasingly under threat. Deriving its name from its serpentine course, Snake River serves as the Columbia River's largest tributary. Leaving Hells Canyon, the river flows alongside the cities of Clarkston, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho. Before reaching its final destination and emptying into Washington State's Columbia River, the river is further impounded by four large dams: Little Goose Lock and Dam, Lower Granite Lock and Dam, Ice Harbor Lock and Dam, and Lower Monumental Lock and Dam. As such, Snake River serves as Columbia River's largest tributary, given its mean discharge of 56,900 cubic feet per second, making it one of the Pacific Northwest region's most important rivers. Subsequent expeditions such as the Astor Expedition of 1810-1812, the John C. Frémont mission of 1832, and the Benjamin Bonneville Expedition of 1833-1834 succeeded in exploring much of the Snake River's remaining lengths. Then, after passing through Milner Dam and its reservoir, the river proceeds to flow into Idaho's Snake River Canyon under Perrine Bridge and over Shoshone Falls. Although part of the Columbia Plateau province's physiographic section, portions of the river's basin fall within the Basin and Range province.

Raptor patrol boats, which can carry up to 23 personnel, are usually equipped with machine guns and used in reconnaissance or landing operations.

Ukraine said it had hit the warship with missiles. The Russian ship involved, the Moskva, sank in the Black Sea in mid-April following what Moscow said was an explosion on board. Kyiv said Monday that its drones sank two Russian patrol boats near the Black Sea's Snake Island where Ukrainian soldiers rebuffed Moscow's demands to surrender at the start of its invasion.

But our military, our intelligence, have important tactical success," Mr Zelensky said last week. Moscow has used Belgorod, which is just inside its border, as a logistical hub for its war efforts. Moreover, we already have certain confirmation that he was not injured," Mr Andrusov said. To protect its war-stricken forces in the area, Russia has been forced to relocate troops and air defence systems to the region, according to the Ukrainian military. "We have confirmation that he was really there, in the Izyum area, but we have no confirmation that he was injured. A Ukrainian attack on a Russian command centre in Izyum on Saturday evening killed about 200 invading troops, including the ninth Russian general to die in the conflict.

An Anaconda's Play Date With Dolphins Took a Strange Turn (The New York Times)

Why were Bolivian river dolphins swimming around with a large predatory snake in their mouths? “There are so many questions,” one researcher said.

She has even observed male bottlenose dolphins trying to penetrate the blowhole of a rescued pilot whale in an aquarium. Of all the things one could pick up, “this seems a little extraordinary,” she said. “It’s giving us another glimpse of the lives of these animals, particularly in the wild.” In this case, the team did not see where the snake ended up. At one point, two male dolphins seemingly swam in sync, a snake held by the animals’ mouths. Dr. Reichle says Bolivian river dolphins usually swim below the surface, and sightings often catch only a fin or a tail.

Snake Bytes: 05/02 - 105.5 miles to go (AZ Snake Pit)

Tennessee's Ben Joyce left the baseball world in awe but he's been hitting 100mph and more since last February.

While pricy, Robinson’s bat falls short of the record paid for a bat. Ramsey’s perfecto is just the 34th in NCAA history, and the first since former Duke pitcher Bryce Jarvis delivered one against Cornell in February 2020. “To keep going, to get to affiliated ball as far as I possibly can.” Ramsey will be eligible for the draft again this summer. He missed the entire 2021 season while serving a 162-game performance-enhancing drug suspension, the second PED suspension of his career. St. Louis catcher Andrew Knizner had to take a peak at the scoreboard. “We made some mistakes from that point forward on the mound,” Lovullo said of what happened after Davies exited. It cost us a couple of runs and it cost him about 12-15 pitches. That marked Davidson’s first MLB action since he suited up in 22 games for the Reds two seasons ago. TXdback (via James Attwood) was Sunday’s guest recapper saw the Diamondbacks missing an opportunity to take home a series win. Davidson’s DFA also clears a 40-man roster spot; Arizona’s tally now sits at 38, although they’ll eventually need to reinstate relievers Mark Melancon and J.B. Wendelken from the COVID-19 injured list. Coupled with the optioning of right-hander Taylor Widener to Triple-A Reno, the Snakes have gotten their active roster down from 28 to 26 players.
