He has fielded all sorts of shots on the cricket pitch, but anchoring a travel-based show turned out to be a “nerve-wracking” experience for South African cricketing icon Jonty Rhodes, who will be seen as a host and travel guide on a TV show. Titled “South Africa With Jonty Rhodes”, the three-part mini-series will be showcased on NDTV Good Times and will feature Rhodes on a 15-day sojourn in the Rainbow Nation....
An interview from New Zealand outlet Newshub featuring political editor Tova O’Brien and Jami-Lee Ross, a controversial political figure, has gone viral. In the interview in question O’Brien does not hesitate to hold Ross accountable for his actions and for sharing misinformation amid the coronavirus pandemic. At one point O’Brien says: “You know exactly what you were doing; you were whipping up fear and hysteria among vulnerable communities.” Ross had lost his position as Member of Parliament for the Botany electorate in New Zealand’s recent election....
Palestinians have been saying this for decades, and in recent years, even some leading Israeli human rights organizations have started using the word apartheid to describe their government’s systems of oppression. Last year, Human Rights Watch, one of the best-known American human rights organizations, similarly accused Israel of apartheid. Amnesty International following suit this week has solidified the human rights community’s emerging consensus on Israeli apartheid. The most important consequence of this consensus is that it lays to rest the false but popular notion of an “Israeli-Palestinian conflict” between two equal sides....
In a blog post on Innersloth’s Itch.io page, the development team laid out its plans for Among Us going forward, after canceling the recently announced Among Us 2. Innersloth mentions that the initial decision to pursue a sequel was due to Among Us’ codebase being outdated, which would prove difficult to work with. Among Us 1 is being played by over a million players at a time, so Innersloth is said to be putting its focus on Among Us 1 instead of developing a sequel....
The story behind the McNugget is that it was found as part of a promotional meal McDonald’s is running with the K-pop band, BTS. Originally listed for only $0.99, the Among Us Chicken McNugget quickly passed $1,000 and has since accrued 156 bids to hit $50,900 at the time of writing. For another bidder to top this bid, they will have to commit to at least $100 more. The idea that a Chicken McNugget could ever reach a price this high seemed impossible before, but it looks like someone will be walking away with what may be the most expensive McNugget ever....
The map was already confirmed back in December when InnerSloth said that its biggest map yet would arrive in early 2021. The developer has teased players with images and short animations since and recently revealed that the new map would include ladders and moving walkways. Now, InnerSloth has revealed when fans will get to play on The Airship, as well as a few new features that the update will add....
One recent fan creation has even gotten the attention of the Among Us developer on Twitter, with a retro recreation of the game from a slightly altered perspective. This newest piece has been created and posted by pixel artist Arthur Vista, who has previously lent his skills to indie titles like tinyBuild’s upcoming roguelike Undungeon. RELATED: Addison Rae Among Us Stream Leads to Backlash The piece itself shows a scene from what looks like it might be off the first Among Us map, the Skeld, with an impostor having successfully killed a crew member and begun fleeing the scene of the crime....
In the initial Twitch stream, Amouranth revealed that her husband had a great deal of control over the couple’s finances, to the point where her accounts were set up with two-factor authorization under his name. In some of the text messages that he allegedly sent, there were threats that he would waste their money if she didn’t immediately respond to him. Amouranth said that he also threatened to leave her with $1 million and take the rest of their money with him....
The stand-up comic (and new mom) came in 7th on Forbes’ list, with the magazine reporting Schumer having earned $21 million 2018 from her Netflix comedy special Growing and her stand-up tour. In 2017, Schumer became the first (and only) female stand-up comic to ever make Forbes’ list. Both her comedy special and tour followed her path towards first-time motherhood and all the hilarious new realities happening in her life because of it....
Berlant spent a couple years co-editing “Our Monica, Ourselves: The Clinton Affair and the National Interest” (NYU Press) with Duggan, an associate professor of American studies and history at New York University and a longtime scholar and activist around issues of sexual politics. The book contains 18 essays that link the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal to patterns in American and global public life. Highlights include “Moniker,” which looks at the incident through a prism of Monica Lewinsky’s Jewishness; “The Face That Launched a Thousand Jokes,” a study of why Americans were so quick to make fun of Linda Tripp; and “Sex of a Kind,” in which the author revisits the discomfort broadcast journalists clearly felt when discussing the more tawdry details of the story....
America’s new profile in central Africa has given rise to wild tales. One rumor on the street in Burundi last summer had a U.S. aircraft carrier patrolling landlocked Lake Tanganyika. Another claims that precious minerals lie beneath the Kivu region in eastern Zaire, where the Rwandan-backed rebels have just carved out a sphere of influence–and repatriated hundreds of thousands of refugees, pre-empting a big international relief effort. Recent visits by Rwandan President Paul Kagame to London, Washington and Israel have fed suspicions that he may have sought a green light to move on Zaire through rebel proxies....
The American Football Conference has now won eight of the last 10 Super Bowls and has not lost a season series with the NFC since 1995. The Bears were certainly game, but, despite a yeoman defense, no match for Indy. Chicago remains at least a quarterback short of the AFC elite. It really didn’t require all that much prescience to write— as I did after the Colts came back from 18 points down against the Patriots in the AFC championship game—that fans had already witnessed the real Super Bowl....
You’re likely already very familiar with the world of hard surface modeling. Here’s a quick run-down on the absolute basics. What Is Hard Surface 3D Modeling? Hard surface modeling in programs like ZBrush and Blender is something that you’ll get to do any time you’re creating something human-made and inorganic. The difference between organic and inorganic modeling ultimately boils down to a few key factors: Smooth, specular, paneled designs. Rigid, structured bodies....
But he does have one distinction: He was the first player born on Christmas day to play in the major leagues (yes, the National Association counts). Since Jewett's brief career, 66 other men with Dec. 25 birthdays have played in the bigs, including three Hall of Famers and a number of All-Stars. As Sporting News' Christmas present to you, here is our ranking of the 10 best players born on Dec....
CD Projekt Red recently announced that it had several games in development. This included numerous games in the Witcher series and a new Cyberpunk 2077 game. In addition to these, CD Projekt Red announced that it had an entirely new intellectual property codenamed Hadar. The game is going to be developed internally by CD Projekt Red and is supposedly in its conceptual phase, so any new information about the game is likely a long way away....
On Monday’s episode, Hostin, 53, said she felt like the Republican party is the “Trumplican party at this point.” The lawyer cited research that suggests 80 percent of Republicans identify former President Donald Trump “as the party,” adding that it’s a “party of white supremacy, it’s a party of fascism,” and “it’s a party of all the things that are counter to our democracy.” Hostin noted that she has “issues” with Navarro, 50, being a part of the organization when she’s a “Latina woman” who immigrated to the U....
Like genital herpes, anal herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Anal herpes is usually transmitted by anal sex but, in some cases, can also be transmitted through oral sex. Studies have shown that most people who get HSV will not develop symptoms (or have only mild symptoms) but can still pass the virus to others without knowing it. This article looks at the causes and symptoms of anal herpes and describes how this common STI is diagnosed, treated, and prevented....
India’s fine off-spinner, Harbhajan Singh ‘Bhajji’ also showed his dissatisfaction on Rohit Sharma not being included in India’s Test squad against West Indies. On September 30, he tweeted that he had no clue as to what the selectors were thinking. However, my thoughts collide with the thoughts of the former Indian greats. I feel it’s not the right time to include Rohit Sharma in the Indian Test team. Rohit was axed from the team’s squad for England due to his poor performances overseas....
Immunological Causes Your immune system protects you from foreign substances. Histamine and other mediator chemicals that promote the inflammatory response are stored in mast cells and basophils that are in tissues throughout your body. After exposure to foreign substances, your body’s immune cells (lymphocytes) begin to produce antibodies that will recognize those substances the next time they are in the body. On future exposures, these antibodies bind to the substances and also to receptors on mast cells and basophils....
