But what at this moment would be going through the minds of the men who will take the field tomorrow. I wonder. Maybe the fly on the wall will have a more close and personal experience of the same. Here’s what it sees: Gautam Gambhir : I’m about to turn a corner and I will prove myself to one & all. What on earth did Dada mean when he said I have lost intent?...
It allows a lot of technical changes to be made and is very helpful when a player is injured. Though Cricket does not have such a concept, the gentlemen’s game did have a similar concept before, the super substitute. Introduced in July 2005, the major intention behind this rule was to change the dynamics of ODI cricket and to also encourage teams to give more prominence to all-rounders in the team....
What’s perhaps most strange about Minecraft: Story Mode is that it exists at all in the state that it does on Netflix. Story Mode was, appropriately, Telltale’s story-driven adventure game set in the world of Minecraft but with all new characters. The choices made by the player at different points guided the progress of the plot, leading to several different possible endings. To make it to Netflix, the game was sliced and diced into a series using the same tech that went into Black Mirror special Bandersnatch....
Toronto’s arrival in the promised land now leaves six franchises that have yet to play in a Finals series: the Clippers, Grizzlies, Hornets, Nuggets, Pelicans and Timberwolves. MORE: Ranking the best three-peat teams in sports history Where’s Sacramento? True, the Kings have never advanced past the Western Conference finals. But when they were based in Rochester, N.Y., in 1951, they won the title. Long ago as it was, they still proudly display the championship banner won by their ancestors....
At the start of the season, Teemu Pukki has proved his doubters wrong scoring 6 goals in 5 games. He has also scored against some notable opponents like Chelsea and in an amazing 3 - 2 victory over Premier League champions Manchester City. His deadly and intelligent movement combined with the fantastic vision and passing of Emi Buendia and Todd Cantwell has allowed Pukki to shine. His movement has helped him score goals and also free spaces up for his teammates to run into....
Since its inception, The Game Awards has only gotten larger, from the number of reveals and segments to the general production value. After hosting an entirely digital broadcast in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Game Awards 2021 was held in person once more, returning to its traditional format. It was a night full of world premieres and first-look trailers like Sonic Frontiers, Slitterhead from the original creator of Silent Hill, and Alan Wake 2....
Mobile gaming is as popular as ever in 2022 and the Game Awards recognizes the large portion of the gaming community represented by this category. This year saw some big releases for the mobile platform including some big franchises making their way to the mobile space. What makes mobile games great are their ability to be played on the go within the palm of your hand. It’s often tough for developers to strike a balance between a console-level experience and the constraints of developing on a portable, less powerful platform....
Such is the might of Sir RJ, this post which was supposed to be a post match analysis between CSK & RCB got turned into “The gentleman they call Sir Ravindra Jadeja”. Forget about twitter, Jadeja is trending even on LinkedIn and YouTube ;). And why did this epithet “Sir Ravindra Jadeja” is in the news for the past few months now? Anyone who had watched the match between CSK & RCB would be short of nails, to say the leastJ....
The concurrence of the Year of the Golden Dragon and the year 2000 has given couples from Beijing to Boston mating fever. “This year’s a double whammy,” says Ni-Wei Chu, labor and delivery nurse director at Garfield Medical Center near Los Angeles. Her hospital, in an area with a large population of Chinese immigrants, has hired six new nurses to cope with an expected 15 percent increase in infants. Taiwan is predicting a 20 to 30 percent explosion in deliveries this year, and Singapore, 15 percent....
The task of dealing with abortion would be handed off, then, to the Republican political class. But that class long ago told itself that the overruling of Roe would simply return the issue of abortion to the political arena in the separate states. Many Republicans in Congress have been quite content to wash their hands of this vexing business. But abortion has long been the business of the Congress and the federal government—as in the performance of abortion in military hospitals, in diplomatic and military outposts abroad, in the Territories and yes, in the District of Columbia....
One of the least discussed yet most damaging means by which the GOP has gone to war with higher education is by slowly bleeding it to death financially. State schools, most especially in red states, are increasingly finding that the outlays they can expect from state legislatures are only going in one direction, down. Perversely, a favorite line of attack against universities in Republican circles is the cost of tuition....
The show will feature four celebrity contestants as they put their skills to the test to impress legendary judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. Celebrity contestants set to appear on the show include Olly Alexander, Lydia West, Nathanial Curtis, and Shaun Dooley. The synopsis of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays reads: Meet the celebrities set to appear in Netflix’s The Great British Baking Show: Holidays season 5 Four contestants are set to take on the Christmas challenge in The Great British Baking Show: Holidays, who will be tested on their skills, creativity, and ability to “Christmas it up....
Some video game franchises are very easy to cosplay because the character designs aren’t super complicated. Certain trainers from Pokemon or most of the characters from Life is Strange fall into the easier cosplay category because it’s about assembling the right clothing, especially if fans choose to forego a wig. However, other video game franchises can be incredibly difficult to cosplay due to the character’s design. Anything with armor is probably going to be a lot more difficult than just finding the right clothes....
Let me explain. Like almost everything involving hedge funds, we’re talking about money. Hedge funds are largely unregulated investment pools consisting of money from wealthy clients, be they individuals or institutions, such as pension funds or college endowments. Think of hedge funds as mutual funds on steroids. They’re free to do all sorts of high-risk, high-reward things, such as speculating in currencies and committing huge portions of their assets to a single investment, which mutual funds aren’t allowed to do....
As the fees mount, officials say the Clintons may establish a legal-defense fund to defray costs-a move that could interfere with re-election fund raising. Some aides speculate Clinton will pay some bills now and the rest after he leaves the White House and earns more money. The lack of cash now, they note, means Kendall can’t bring on more junior lawyers to help on Whitewater. Says one aide: “If they had more money you’d have more of these questions answered by now....
Because energy is so vital, we in the energy industry have a responsibility to work toward overcoming the challenges we all face, including meeting the basic energy needs of a rapidly growing world population. And we have a responsibility to continue developing and delivering the resources on which the world depends in an economically sound and environmentally responsible way. The consumers we serve and the conditions we operate in demand that we continue to innovate....
Many members of the audience, when watching The Hobbit movies, believe that Thorin is selfish in leading the other dwarves back to Erebor. It’s easy to believe, upon watching the films, that that the fight to reclaim their homeland is only a guise or a compelling excuse to give Thorin access to the hoards of gold. But actually, despite his ignorant and arrogant claim to the throne as his birth right, it isn’t he who started the quest in the first place....
Aloy’s first adventure began and ended within a year, but Horizon Forbidden West will send her to the West Coast of the former United States to investigate a new danger and save humanity from extinction once again. It’s not entirely clear when Forbidden West will take place compared to Zero Dawn, but there are a couple of clues to speculate from. RELATED: Why Fans Shouldn’t Expect Romance Options in Horizon Forbidden West...
Let’s see how that argument squares with the actual language of the Constitution and the views expressed by its father, James Madison. The governing text says the following: “The president, vice president and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” This language surely suggests that the Senate may not try anyone who is no longer a civil officer and therefore cannot be “removed from office....
WHEN EDITH BROWN HAISMAN last saw her daddy nearly 85 years ago, he was standing on deck, smoking a cigar and smiling at his wife and daughter. ““I’ll see you in New York,’’ he said confidently, as his family was bundled into Lifeboat No. 14. There had been no sense of urgency when the Titanic first struck an iceberg out there in the North Atlantic at 20 minutes before midnight....
