\u27a2 \u201cCanadian Tire\u201d says a downloading error is to blame for a glitch that caused all items to scan at the register as \u201cMr. Potato Head\u201d. Five stores in Lindsay and Whitby, ON were impacted in the bizarre computer system fritz that started around 7 a.m. Monday. A staffer said any item the team scanned showed the same product number and information as the classic toy, which returned to popularity in the \u201cToy Story\u201d movies. It took about 90 minutes to correct the glitch.<\/p>\n

The virtual pet that was so popular in the 90s is coming to North America again in July, with a new product called Tamagotchi On Wonder Garden.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The $59.99 toy will launch on July 26. Unlike the original Tamagotchi, the new one can go outside its house, celebrate your birthday with colorful balloons and a festive tune, and even travel to different lands.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It can also get married and raise children, who will later grow into adults, and continue the family tree. \u00a0And the difficulty level isn’t as tough as the original toy. In\u00a0this\u00a0version, you can drop off your pet at a hotel for daycare.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Still, the Wonder Garden toy retains the core nostalgic elements from the 90s. To satisfy and grow the pet into adulthood, you need to keep its hunger, happiness and entertainment levels above dangerous thresholds. When it needs something, it beeps — even when the screen is turned off, which can be frustrating. Just as in the 90s, the gameplay is still very analog. You don’t need Wi-Fi to play a Tamagotchi, as connecting to a mobile app is optional.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The brand first launched in 1996 in Japan and came to America the following year.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n WHY BEAVERS ARE BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n A study says beavers are now contributing to environmental issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n German and U.S. researchers studied satellite images of an area of land on Alaska\u2019s Baldwin Peninsula from 17 years. They found the number of beaver dams has risen from just two in 2002 to 98 in 2019\u2014a 5,000 percent increase.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It\u2019s due to higher temperatures in the area, which lead to more shrub land for the beavers, which provide the animals with more materials to build dams.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The issue is the dams create bodies of water that are warmer than the surrounding permafrost (ground that remains completely frozen) and the lakes therefore accelerate the thawing of the permafrost, which releases greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane into the environment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the course of the 17-years studied, the overall water area in the region grew by 8.3 percent\u2014roughly two-thirds of which was due to beavers. The researchers suspect beavers are causing similar issues in other areas of the Arctic.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n FRIDAY JULY 3RD<\/sup> <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Nine more NBA players have tested positive for COVID-19, according to a joint statement by the NBA and the players\u2019 association.

Russell gave his wife a very special gender reveal at their Nashville area home.<\/p>\n The couple recently visited the doctor, but only Russell learned the sex of the baby via a folded up piece of paper inside a sealed envelope.<\/p>\n At Kailey’s request – the idea of which came to her in a dream – Russell hit up the local Target store and bought several outfits for a little boy. He laid the clothes all over the bed in their guest bedroom and hung blue streamers around the room. Russell led Kailey into the room with her eyes covered, surprising the mom-to-be who shared the news on social media writing, \u201cAs a girl raised with 5 older brothers, this is everything I ever wanted and more. I love the boys in my life so much and now I get to raise one of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n Russell and Kailey announced the pregnancy back in April. This will be their first child.<\/p>\n
