Tiger Woods hits supernatural 'Kobe Bryant' putt Supernatural or merely coincidence? Some might think there was a higher power at work when Tiger Woods strode down the first hole at Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles Thursday. Close to where basketball great Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash last month, Woods fizzed his second shot into the green to leave an eagle putt of 24 feet eight inches. Remarkably, those are the two jersey numbers worn by Bryant during his glittering 20-year career with the LA Lakers. Of course, Woods made the putt. "It's ironic, isn't it?"

Polar bears are getting thinner and having fewer cubs. Melting sea ice is to blame The impact of the climate crisis is becoming more and more obvious to humans and their animal neighbors. But among all species, polar bears might be some of the hardest hit. The bears rely on sea ice for nearly every aspect of their survival: It's where they hunt seals, travel, make dens and mate. So the earlier in the season the ice begins to melt, the less time they have to eat and procreate.

Tax social media giants, ecommerce companies: Swadeshi Jagran Manch The Swadeshi Jagran Manch (SJM) has strongly recommended that the Centre bring foreign-run social media giants, ecommerce companies, giant foreign software companies and large taxi and travel aggregators under the tax net in the upcoming Budget, to meet its revenue shortfall.
