Ducey revealed a plan to remove salt from sea water to use in Arizona in his annual State of the State address at a joint session of the state’s House and Senate, but the governor provided little detail regarding the project’s specifics. “Instead of just talking about desalination—the technology that made Israel the world’s water superpower—how about we pave the way to make it actually happen?” said Ducey. Ducey said he worked with state House Speaker Rusty Bowers and Senate President Karen Fann, both Republicans, on the plan....

In early May, we heard that Prey 2 had been officially stripped from original developer Human Head Studios and given to Dishonored developer Arkane Studios. It was a surprising move, but one that made sense considering Arkane had become Prey 2 publisher Bethesda’s up-and-coming “rock star” studio. However, not that long ago, Bethesda’s Pete Hines revealed that the rumors were not true, that Arkane is not working on Prey 2....

According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, Ashley Ann Jones, a 35-year-old Little Rock resident, came up with the idea to help local families pay for their groceries during the holiday season after reading news stories about long lines at food banks, which led to a decrease in resources for the food banks.

Many competing smartwatches have had always-on displays for several years, as have competing Android phones. iPhones and iPads do not have always-on displays. The Series 5 can be easier customised when you buy it now. Apple offers it in 40mm or 44mm casing in either aluminium, titanium, stainless steel or ceramic and with umpteen strap options. You can pick and mix options online or in-store. Always-on displays usually cane battery life to within an inch of its life but Apple claims the Series 5 still offers 18-hour ‘all day’ battery life – so you’ll still need to charge it every night....

With the Apple Watch Series 7, however, Apple has given its signature smartwatch a substantial redesign, that includes a curved-edge display, fast charging and more. When was the Apple Watch Series 7 released? After last year’s break from tradition, there was some discussion about whether Apple would bring the Series 7 to market at the same time as the newly-unveiled iPhone 13 range, however, the company’s 14 September ‘California Streaming’ event not only gave us a new Apple Watch and new iPhones but also new iPads as well (including a long-awaited update to the iPad Mini range)....

Just more than three years after he broke Babe Ruth’s home-run record, the now-retired Aaron had his No. 44 retired by the last team for which he played, the Milwaukee Brewers.

The appeal date is set for May 28, according to the Washington Post. Hardy’s camp and the NFLPA will argue that Hardy’s domestic violence incident, in which charges stemming from it were ultimately dismissed in February, occurred under the old NFL policy on domestic violence that carries only a two-game suspension, like Ray Rice was given, as opposed to the currently imposed 10-game suspension given to Hardy.

“It could be the start of a dynasty,” he said, as Roberto Mancini’s players lapped up the bedlam. The reality was different, as City fell away in their title defence the following year and Mancini was sacked.

The picture is very different now, with City sealing a fourth title out of the most recent five to continue a phenomenal run of dominance under the Catalan tactician....

Greater Value for Money One of the distinguishing features of most little-known smartphone brands is their relatively cheap prices. Ironically, their cheap prices are part of the reason people avoid them. However, in this thousand-dollar smartphone era, are little-known alternatives that offer similar specs at lower prices worth considering? For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus retails at around $700. With 8 GB RAM, 256 GB ROM, and impressive processing power, there’s a lot to love about the device specs....
