Losses could cost the region $1.2 billion, despite the federal insurance payments that farmers rely on during bad harvest years.

The animation and action are breathtaking, the characters are compelling and vibrant, the music is stellar and the dialogue is memorable. We couldn't recommend this anime more. Season one is streaming on Netflix, but there's another season out there, if you're craving more.

Beastars (2019-)














Beastars is set in a world of anthropomorphic animals. These characters have jobs and go to school, reminiscent of Disney's Zootopia. But while Beastars and Zootopia both tackle similar themes - predator versus prey, prejudice and discrimination versus compassion and inclusivity - Beastars is definitely the emotionally heavier show.

Vodafone could be attractive to a US buyer, the source added. 'Darktrace has been battered since it went public, so it would make sense, and Vodafone could happen at some point. Though Vodafone is very big and very political - it would be a US buyer coming in, if anybody did.'

"We have in black and white some damning findings about how this company has operated, how they dealt with the regulator, and their obligations to act in the public interest clearly were not taken seriously," she told reporters on Thursday.

The questionnaire, with about 100 questions, asked which of the rivals such as Nvidia's GeForce Now, Sony's Playstation, Google Stadia, Amazon Luna and Facebook Gaming could be considered the most attractive following the deal.

A reddit post by Binance discussing the incident said that the company temporarily suspended its BNB smart chain after detecting an exploit between two blockchains. "The issue is contained now. Your funds are safe. We apologize for the inconvenience and will provide further updates accordingly," CEO Changpeng Zhao said in a tweet.
The post estimated that $100 million to $110 million in funds were taken, but that approximately $7 million was able to be frozen.
