Like its sister sports shuffleboard and canasta, bingo is so unhip, it’s hip. It’s also easy to play, with no complicated game patterns to follow and, let’s face it, winning comes down to pure luck. Jeffrey Bowman of Legendary Bingo in L.A. says that the game is a distraction from the club scene: “You can be whoever you want to be, and you can go home feeling fine that you didn’t score....
My tryst with this wonderful sport started in the year 2003. India were taking on Pakistan in the 2003 World Cup, and I, hardly 7 years at that time, watched on, as you played a stunning innings against our arch rivals and guided India home. By the time I had started watching cricket, you were already the Demi-God of our country. You had tamed the best of bowling attacks, and you were already kept at the highest pedestal....
Pogba came on at halftime and immediately injected new life into a French midfield that had struggled to create chances against the sort of well-organised, compact team which has been typical of the so-called minnows at Euro 2016. Griezmann, brought on midway through the second half, went one better when he ended 90 minutes of stubborn Albanian resistance by heading the first French goal. If France coach Didier Deschamps wanted to see how his team would cope without the pair, who both disappointed in their opening 2-1 win over Romania, then he did not have to wait long for the answer....
But the doubts were quashed when the Indian skipper finished as the highest run scorer in the Test series during the England tour earlier. The technical and mindset change which made that possible can be traced all the way to the final Test early this year in South Africa. Here’s the analysis on the change of technique that enabled Kohli to turn things around. Kohli’s subtle change in Technique...
In a most sensible reaction – the first we’re reading in India by an Indian Grandmaster on the subject of Anand’s loss – the young talent from New Delhi told NNIS Sports that it would be great if we had more strong chess tournaments in India as most youngsters have to go to Europe to play which is expensive and not very easy. GM Parimarjan Negi said Anand’s loss is not a big blow to Indian chess at all and the best needs to be made out of the momentum that has been created for chess in India....
Ancelotti travelled to Rome on Tuesday evening to meet with Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis regarding the upcoming vacancy at the Serie A outfit. Despite holding positive discussions with current manager Maurizio Sarri last week, De Laurentiis is now consigned to losing the 59-year-old this summer having failed to agree a new deal Sarri is set to depart having led the Partenopei to a second-place finish in Serie A, with their final points tally of 91 the most for a team not to have won the Scudetto....
Now, the fun continues as the developer recently announced that Amnesia: The Bunker will be releasing in March 2023 and will be the fourth entry in the series. The original 2010 installment is generally considered to be the strongest in the franchise, helping to lay the groundwork for modern horror games and implementing a unique way of making the player feel vulnerable and terrified in equal measures. The fact that all three games currently available remove the ability to fight back is part of what makes them so scary, but it looks as though the new entry will be changing that....
The basic idea of Among Us is the dynamics between the impostors and the crewmates. This social deduction game has a lot set out for the crewmates. Firstly, the crewmates have many maintenance tasks that they must complete in the game. And secondly, the impostors have a list of fake tasks. They cannot play these minigames, making it slightly difficult for them to go about in Among Us. Why is this difficult?...
According to reports, Alvin Kennard was 22 years old when he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole in 1984, for the robbery of Highlands Bakery in 1983. Alabama state law apparently at the time mandated that since it was his fourth offense, the judge was required to sentence him to life in prison. That law, the Habitual Felony Offender Act, has since been changed so that judges now have the option to give fourth-time offenders the possibility of parole....
In the 1940s and ’50s, Ferrer sang on dozens of Cuban big-band records, but was never credited by name; eventually he ended up shining shoes on the streets of Havana. Then, when he was 70, the Cuban bandleader Juan de Marcos and the American guitarist and producer Ry Cooder tracked him down and recorded him with an all-star collective of forgotten Cuban musicians; the 1997 “Buena Vista Social Club” album gave Ferrer his first platinum record–and his first credit....
Faces of Love by Hafez, Khatun and Zakan Shiraz, Iran This collection of three classic Persian poets brings us back into a Shiraz of wine, song and romantic rivalry. From the often mystical Hafez to the erotic female poet Khatun and the satiric Zakani, all three poets see Shiraz as an earthly paradise—probably better than the heavenly one. Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Schalansky Pitcairn Island, British Overseas Territory...
Not the least impressive thing about the Ring of Fire Aquarium, which opened last week in Osaka, Japan, is the way in which architect Peter Chermayeff has managed to use water not just as a medium in which to grow fish, but as an architectural element in its own right. With less success, he uses fire, because the theme for this aquarium is the Pacific Ocean and its shores, the “Ring of Fire” that includes most of the world’s active volcanoes....
On March 15, the fake news report commenced with, surprise, a Facebook post. In this false story, disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein was reported to have made a plea deal in order to lower his prison sentence. He claimed he could name celebrities who were supposedly all involved in a sex trafficking club with the deceased Jeffrey Epstein. Weinstein allegedly gave up the names of Winfrey, Tom Hanks, Charlie Sheen, and more....
The View co-host was in her hometown where she stopped into the Palace Bar and Restaurant to attend its iconic drag brunch. Wearing a pink shirt with feathered sleeves, Navarro stood up to address her fellow diners and threw her support behind the drag queen community. “Listen, I live in Florida and I hate that drag queens are being made a political issue and a web issue, and a manufactured, made up cultural issue....
Overview Typically, if a person tests positive for the antinuclear antibody, it means only that the person could have lupus. Further tests are needed to determine if a person actually has lupus. Those include tests for double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), Sm (Smith), Ro/SSA (Sjogren’s syndrome A), La/SSB (Sjogren’s syndrome B), and RNP (ribonucleoprotein) antibodies. Up to 15% of otherwise healthy people can have a low titer positive ANA. Other tests for inflammation markers (ESR, CRP) and complement levels (C3, C4), may also be obtained....

Ace Research Institute analyst Hideki Yasuda has revealed that his PS5 price prediction is $500, and he believes that the console will launch in November 2020. Yasuda predicts that the PS5 will focus on fixing the flaws of the PS4 (like its lack of backward compatibility, for instance), as well as delivering powerful hardware. Yasuda doesn’t believe that cloud streaming services like Google Stadia will be a threat to the PS5, and so he thinks the console will sell quite well, predicting around 21 million units sold by March 31, 2022....
