                                       Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning modern monarch in British history, redefined what it meant to be a monarch and navigated a tremendous amount of change. Born in 1926, she ascended to the throne at age 25, and reigned for over 7 decades before passing away at the age of 96 on September 8th, 2022. Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, has died at 96 years old. The longest reigning Monarch in British history dedicated a life to public and voluntary service as one of the most important elements of her work.   The passing of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne has meant that not just a monarch is gone at the age of 96, but decades of stability and continuity are suddenly gone, too.

China has been guarded. And scientists warn that the window to finding COVID's true origin is closing fast. The debate that has turned highly-political, at times threatening to overshadow management of the pandemic itself. Solving the puzzle is still critical.

The 14 pro no longer has a notch and now has this pill shape housing the front camera and face id that apple dubs the “Dynamic Island”. It’s very similar to any other iphone within recent memory but with the addition of this dynamic island, the iphone 14 pro and pro max changes the way alerts and information are handled on the iphone. The pill expands and retracts depending on what you’re doing. Basically, anything that you’re doing in the background of your phone that’s not active on the display is pushed to the dynamic island, which lets you have on hand information that you look at at any time, but not necessarily have it taking up the entire screen. You can have two different background tasks in the dynamic island at once, with one being full sized, and other shrunken down to basic
