Blues For The Blue Helmets

That’s not the end of the story. Last week, after boarding the cargo ship, Croatian authorities seized a container labeled fuel and compressed gas. Inside they found antitank weapons, small-arms ammunition, tank shells and 15 tons of TNT While U.N. officials pleaded administrative snafu, the Croatian press accused UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force) of trying to funnel weapons to the Bosnian Muslims. UNPROFOR’s 20-month operation in Bosnia reads like a long complaint filed by an abused spouse....

Bluetooth S Connection

Getting digital gadgets to talk to each other can drive anyone nuts, but that may be ready to change. A consortium of 2,000 high-tech companies, including Microsoft, IBM, Sony and Intel, is pushing Bluetooth technology, a new global standard for wireless communications that lets any device talk to any other device without plugs, cables or software to install. At last week’s Comdex computer trade show in Las Vegas, more than 30 companies were showing off the latest Bluetooth products, several of which will hit the stores in time for Christmas....

Blizzard Nerfs World Of Warcraft Shadowlands Bosses In Castle Nathria

Despite players having access to better gear than before, many encounters feature unavoidable damage to the entire raid. Due to the nature of these mechanics, only larger raids could reliably deal with the fights to get their heroic items and achievements. However, Blizzard has finally addressed the discrepancy of raid sizes by nerfing damage and scaling for smaller groups.

Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 S Female Monk

Sure, it’s not a lot, but people have been curious what she would look like since only the male monk was playable at last year’s BlizzCon.

Bloober Team Almost Made A Saw Video Game

In a recent interview with IGN, Babieno confirms that Lionsgate approached Bloober Team and asked it to develop a title based on any of its horror properties. Lionsgate owns a few notable horror franchises, many of which have never received any sort of video game adaptation. For instance, Hellraiser’s Dead By Daylight tie-in was that series’ most notable gaming outing, and Children of the Corn, despite its many sequels, never saw a single video game adaptation....

Blood Test Shows Promise In More Accurate Detection Of Ovarian Cancer

Currently, there is no single reliable or early detection test for ovarian cancer, so the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force “recommends against screening for ovarian cancer in asymptomatic women.” Ovarian cancer is usually detected through a pelvic exam in a doctor’s office, a transvaginal ultrasound, and a blood test for a protein called cancer antigen 125 (CA-125). But high levels of this protein aren’t necessarily indicative of cancer—it can be elevated due to anything from pregnancy and menstruation to endometriosis....

Blue Whale Heart Rate Can Drop To Just Two Beats Per Minute While Diving

Blue whales are the biggest animals on Earth, reaching between 80 and 100 feet in length. They are believed to have appeared about 1.5 million years ago. Earlier this year, researchers found evidence to suggest that baleen whales—which blue whales are a type of—evolved huge body sizes far earlier than once thought, raising questions about their role they have played in the development of ocean ecosystems. Their extreme size has also fascinated scientists looking to understand their physiology—how they got to be so big and whether they could get any larger....

Bluedio Hi Hurricane Wireless Earbuds Review

Price & Availability Design & Build Quality Rather than adopting the more common in-ear design used by the likes of the Redmi AirDots, Bilikay HBQ-Q67 and many others in this price range, Bluedio goes down the AirPods route with two long stems jutting out of the bottom of the earbuds. This allows the inclusion of multi-function control buttons on each bud, microphones that are nearer to your mouth than on the smaller type, plus a proximity sensor in the right bud that can tell when you remove the item from your ear....
