The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species notes that while the majority of rattlesnake species are not in danger, there are three particular species that warrant attention. The Tancitaran dusky rattlesnake is listed as endangered because of its small range in Mexico, whereas the Santa Catalina rattlesnake, which is native to Isla Santa Catalina, is regarded as critically endangered. 1213 Similar to this, the long-tailed rattlesnake is classified as "vulnerable" because it is so uncommon and has only a few known specimens in western Mexico.

Players were never able to advance the ball. Instead, each player was required to toss it from where he caught it. The first team credited with advancing the ball by dribbling did so at Yale in 1897, and the official allowed for dribbling, initially only one per possession, was implemented four years later. The slam dunk, another major basketball technique, was outlawed from the 1967-1968 season until the 1976-1977 season.

Over 2,000 tonnes of unexploded bombs are discovered every year, even more than 70 years after World War II. To ensure that the earth is free of any weapons, specialists must certify it before construction companies start digging for a new project. Furthermore, the finding of these bombs is no little matter. In 2013, when a 4,000-pound Blockbuster bomb was found in Dortmund, western Germany, more than 20,000 people were forced to flee their homes. It could destroy an entire city block if it exploded. Since the end of World War II, Germany has enjoyed peace, yet their bomb squad is one of the busiest in the world.

The best place to start is always your bedroom because it can be a haven for many dust mites. Making dust mites' habitat less hospitable is the best way to combat them. You will therefore need bedding that keeps you cool, dry, and moisture-free.

His truncheon is a modular adamantium nightstick/staff that can be separated into two fighting clubs or connected together to form a nunchuck-like gadget. A grappling hook may be shot from one end and can be extended to eight feet in length.

The median age in the 1950s was 33 years old, but it is increasing every year. The median age of the Swiss population in 2015 was 42.2 years. Switzerland, on the other side, has the greatest percentage of persons over 100 in Europe and the second-highest life expectancy after Japan. Of course, given the purity of the air, the amount of walking routes, and the availability of high-quality health care, they will live a long life.

The first McDonald's drive-thru was erected in a restaurant in Sierra Vista, Arizona, near the military post of Fort Huachuca. Military regulations prohibited soldiers from wearing their uniforms in public, and they weren't about to change into civilian clothes just to grab a burger and rush back to base, so restaurant manager David Rich devised a solution: cut a hole in the wall so that military personnel could pick up their orders without having to exit their vehicle. The idea soon gained popularity due to its ease and simplicity.

Japan paid a million yen to a team of scientists who claimed to develop a "death ray" that would use wave electric power to kill persons standing kilometres away, based on Nikola Tesla's ideas. The Japanese got as far as developing a prototype that could kill from half a mile away—but the victim had to stay motionless for 10 minutes for it to operate.

"We don't really know who first came up with the idea for looking at things in nature and divining influences on humans," NASA astronomer Sten Odenwald told Time. "There's some indication that cave art shows this idea that animals and things can be imbued with some spirit form that then influences you, and if you appease that spirit form, then you will have a successful hunt. That was taken over by the idea of divination, where you can actually look at things in nature and study them carefully, such as tea-leaf reading."
