| Israel to present findings in Moscow over downing of Russian plane Posted: 19 Sep 2018 01:43 PM PDT  Israel's air force chief will on Thursday present findings in Moscow related to an incident in which a Russian military plane was downed off Syria's coast, Israel's military said. Israel on Tuesday blamed Syria, saying its anti-aircraft batteries "fired indiscriminately" and failed to ensure that no Russian planes were in the air. The army said Major-General Amikam Norkin and other senior officers would "present the situation report of the event regarding all aspects, including the pre-mission information and the findings of the IDF (Israel Defence Forces) inquiry." The incident initially appeared likely to cause friction between two countries that back opposing sides in Syria's complex civil war, with the head of the defense ministry in Moscow accusing Israel of indirectly causing it.

| Cat hiking videos are the wholesome escape you need in your life Posted: 19 Sep 2018 12:45 PM PDT  This post is part of Hard Refresh , a soothing weekly column where we try to cleanse your brain of whatever terrible thing you just witnessed on Twitter. Things you can reasonably expect to see on a hike: trees; rocks; streams. Thing you might not expect to see on a hike: A cat on a leash walking with its owner. Turns out that hiking cats are more common than you might think. These adventurous felines can be found on YouTube and Instagram, where they explore rough mountain terrain, rocky beaches, and green pastures. SEE ALSO: What happens when an animal influencer dies? There's something so delightful about watching these pets explore new terrain with such curiosity. While there are lots of videos of hiking cats online, I recommend you check out some of these seasoned feline hikers first. There's Cezar, the traveling cat who's been to France, El Salvador, and Malta. Then there's Honey Bee, the blind cat who loves to spend time outdoors. And finally, there's Paul the cat, whose high-altitude hiking videos will put your own hiking abilities to shame. While most cats are naturally pretty curious, not every cat is built to explore the outside world, according to the Adventure Cats blog. Felines that possess a playful demeanor and an interest in the outside world — and are willing to wear a harness — might make solid hikers. For cat owners intrigued by the idea of bringing their pets on long hikes (or even just outside for a quick walk,) Adventure Cats has a pretty comprehensive guide to getting your pet more comfortable with the great outdoors. But if you're just looking for 15 minutes of nature footage and cute cats, watch a video or two and then daydream of one day climbing a mountain with Whiskers by your side.

| The Food Network's Pioneer Woman has a line of floral Instant Pots at Walmart and they are precious Posted: 19 Sep 2018 07:49 AM PDT  Calling everyone who watches the Food Network as if it's a religion: Your obsession is about to get worse. We're sure you've heard of the Pioneer Woman (she's kind of a big deal) — and if you've seen her show, you know that she is the definition of a precious human. She's designed a new line of Instant Pots with flowers on them, which debuted at Walmart this week, and it's the cutest thing we've ever seen. SEE ALSO: Best Instant Pot cookbooks on Amazon This floral Instant Pot comes in the form of the six-quart LUX, the 6-in-1 model that pressure cooks, slow cooks, sautés, cooks rice, steams, and warms. According to their website, Instant Pots use 70% less energy than the average pressure cooker, but somehow cook food, as their title states, instantly — well, 2-10 times faster, but that's the closest to instant you're gonna get. And the fact that these are launching right before holiday shopping kicks into high gear — coincidence? I think not. I'm sure you already have a list of people in your head who would love to have this puppy sitting on their counter, or you're already ordering one for yourself (raises hand). There are two floral options: A royal blue one with a water color theme or a teal one with an adorable vintage floral pattern. The latter is already sold out (are we surprised?), but we're sure it'll be back ASAP for the hungry holiday shoppers. Find them for $99 each here.
