On one level, this is a ghost story. Sethe (Oprah Winfrey) and her daughter Denver (Kimberly Elise) are sharing a house with the spiteful spirit of Sethe’s other daughter, dead for 18 years. Sethe’s two sons have abandoned her, and the sullen, terrified Denver is a virtual prisoner in her own home. Sethe, who gave birth to Denver as she was escaping from the slave plantation Sweet Home, is a prisoner of the past, her mind as scarred with a secret guilt as her back is scarred with lashes....

Science fiction horror comes in all shapes and sizes, but it’s often the genre most concerned with the end of the world. When the work is dealing with a more universal scale, a thousand worlds can end within a single story. When the scale is more domestic, however, there are a few go-to ways sci-fi authors love to use as shorthand for the apocalypse. RELATED: 5 Most Terrifying Scenes In Sci-Fi Movies...

Turning terraced rice fields into a garden is no easy feat. Over the past 10 years, Tochi, a 62-year-old Town Assembly member in Okimicho (population: 4,000) who also tends a fishing-tool shop, has spent every spare minute working on the project. To plot it out, he bought several books on Monet’s gardens and studied the designs. He began digging the pond first by hand, then later purchased a mini excavator....

Everywhere he turns these days, Brown runs the risk of being hemmed in by the web of business ties and political connections that has made him so successful. The extra attention comes in part from his role as a path-breaking African-American in the white establishment. His hungry eye for a deal has prompted a federal investigation into an alleged scheme to sell influence to the Vietnamese. It’s a noose that Brown may slip: last week he denied to federal investigators that he had ever discussed, asked for or accepted money from Vietnam....

The developers behind Mario Kart 8 spared no expense when it came down to attention to detail, and each of the characters are very aware of the race that’s going on around them. One aspect of this is shifting their head and eyes to look at other racers that they pass or get passed by, and that’s where Luigi’s inclusion immediately became a far bigger marketing asset than Nintendo likely ever imagined....

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had it exactly right when he said that “loony lies and conspiracy theories are cancer for the Republican Party.” And so, why are so many Democrats and friends on left-leaning Twitter so bent on going ape over her every crackpot eruption? Because she’s entertainment, and entertainment is what American politics has become. “Saturday Night Live” hit the painfully funny nail on the head when it identified Donald Trump as a “former social media influencer....

I have no problem with the idea of a voter ID. The question needs to be what suffices for voter ID. Maybe it’s a utility bill. Maybe it’s some other indication because I think most people, regardless of race or our party, believe that no one should be voting in the name of someone else. If we look at what we know in terms of voter fraud, since the days of the big-city machines, we don’t have any cases of systemic voter fraud in the United States....

Because the shooting occurred at a gay bar, some have leapt to assume that it was a targeted anti-gay hate crime. They went on to then cast blame on Republicans for supposedly fomenting anti-LGBT sentiment—saying this makes them culpable in the shooting. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez offered perhaps the most prominent example of this partisan blame-casting in her response to the condolences offered by Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert. “You have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted....

This shift in focus, however, has been seen only in the media. The smart, and as an extension successful clubs have always utilised this source very efficiently. Cast your mind back to some of the successful outfits of the past, and you’ll always see a large contingent of home grown players, or players from the home country. Think of Ajax, led by Cruyff, or Bayern, with the likes of Beckenbauer, Muller, Roth, Maier, and Hoene?...

Then, once we got to play it during E3 2017, it became clear that The Inpatient is just that. More importantly, it’s the type of experience that works well in VR, but has been mostly available on competing platforms. For PlayStation VR, The Inpatient is a unique experience that is both intriguing and unnerving. The basics of the game are laid out well in the short demo.

The silly season of F1 is upon us. Big question is, which driver will go where? Will Kimi Raikkonen retain his Ferrari seat? Fernando Alonso won’t reunite with Ferrari, he’s clear about his relationship goals with them. And how long before Alonso signs up for Chip Ganassi Racing? Is Mercedes feeling peer pressure to push their young driver Pascal Wehrlein? Or is Nico Rosberg secure for 2017? If Felipe Massa doesn’t get an extension, perhaps his best retirement option would be to only groom his son for F1, inspired by Jos Verstappen!...

In perhaps the greatest upset in the history of team sports, the Miracle on Ice, a ragtag group of American collegiate athletes defeated the Soviet Union national hockey team. A wave of patriotic pride and joy swept our country. At its best, the Olympics can provide a platform for mutual cultural understanding, respect for our differences, a bridge for further dialogue, or as the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) charter states, “to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of man, with a view to promoting a peaceful society concerned with the preservation of human dignity....
