A tumultuous season, which could have been any of the last 7, threatens to end Arsenal’s run of finishing in the top four in the English Premier League. The season’s past have been so hard on the team that the manager, Mr. Arsene Wenger, has got many believing that there should ideally be a trophy for a top-four finish too. That being said, Wenger has been one of the best managers in football across the globe, and the best at the North London club....
The Pokemon games and anime are the most recognizable properties the franchise has, with both being responsible for the massive early success the series enjoyed in the mid to late 90s. Often overlooked is the Pokemon Adventures manga, which was first serialized in 1997 in Shogakukan’s CoroCoro Ichiban! magazine. The series is still running and has amassed a reputation for being somewhat more adventurous with its narrative and tone among the fan base....
Tales of long-suffering victims are a staple of mainstream Philippine movies, and of Western movies about poverty in the developing world. But not of this year’s Cinemalaya grantees. Instead of stereotypes, these films draw from real life, partly because they need to. Now in its third year, Cinemalaya offers grants equal to about $11,000 to 10 new filmmakers, who must shoot within a five-month period. Sometimes they use nonactors, real people who accept poverty and hardship as facts of life....
I’ve lived on my 1-acre wooded lot in Landenberg, Pa., for one year, in a house that was built in 1954. The surrounding area has already changed. I’m 31 years old and I hear myself saying, “Back in my day, that development was nothing but trees.” Just like my dad talks about how he used to ride horses along a road that’s now called Kirkwood Highway in Delaware, where you can get a taco, a lube job, a massage and a new pair of shoes all at one intersection....
The Biden plan enshrines former president Donald Trump’s Operation Warp Speed as the model response to the next century of pandemics. Left unsaid is that, for the new pandemic plan to work as envisioned, it will require us to conduct dangerous gain-of-function research. It will also require cutting corners in the evaluation of the safety and efficacy of novel vaccines. And while the studies are underway, politicians will face tremendous pressure to impose draconian lockdowns to keep the population “safe....
According to an interview with The Washington Post, Yujin Morisawa, Sony’s senior art director, said that the PS5 was originally designed to be bigger to meet its power needs. He would later make it smaller so that it wasn’t too big to handle. Morisawa shared some behind the scene details about the PS5, providing insight into the approach he took with designing the console and explains why it is so big and how it was almost bigger....
Our Other Play on Texas A&M also lost, and also was nowhere near covering. A&M was without its starting QB, and that had a big impact on the game, one which we did not consider in our ratings. More about QB injuries and adjusting for them below. Though we had only two official plays, we did have six leans last week, which went 3-3. Temple (+7.5) got the outright win by 10 over East Carolina, despite being dominated statistically....
Netflix also shared a few other fun facts about the series’ incredible success, the first being that it ranked in the top ten watched shows in 92 countries, claiming the #1 spot in 63 of those. In addition, the novel on which the show is based rocketed into the New York Times’ bestseller list 37 years after its initial release.

The situation for Liverpool has changed really drastically over the past few months. Luis Suarez coming out to say that he is frustrated with the British media has left the Reds in a pretty difficult situation, especially considering their involvement in trying to flog Andy Carroll out to West Ham. On Luis Suarez Whilst Suarez is indeed capable of still consistently performing despite the ever-present boos and jeers wherever he goes, his attitude and professionalism is indeed not one of a Liverpool FC player....
If reports are true that the raid has to do with an ongoing negotiation between Trump’s legal team and the National Archives over the retention of classified documents, odious comparisons immediately present themselves. The most obvious such comparison involves Hillary Clinton herself, Trump’s defeated 2016 rival. As secretary of state, Hillary Clinton conducted official business on a personal email address and her own private server, where she improperly stored classified information—some of which was labeled “top secret....
Yes, Parra’s walk-up tune is “Baby Shark,” an irresistible anthem that has Nationals fans clapping as the team attempts to defeat the Astros and capture a World Series championship. The “Baby Shark” craze may have caught on during the Nats’ incredible playoff run, but Parra brought it to the plate months before Washington was considered a serious threat to win it all.

Black Canary, after all, is a character with a lot of history. First appearing in The Flash #86, in 1947, the identity of the Black Canary has been donned by two different superheroines, Dinah Drake and her daughter, Dinah Laurel Lance. Despite her long history, however, the character hasn’t as much development in the way of live-action adaptations as one would expect, with four different actresses playing the role: Danuta Wesley in two NBC’s Legends of Superheroes specials, Rachel Skarsten in the 2002 Birds of Prey TV series, Alaina Huffman in Smallville, and more recently Katie Cassidy on Arrow....
The Asian Games will be the first tournament where the new format of four quarters - each quarter comprising 15 minutes - barring the goal-celebration time and penalty corner execution time, will be applicable. “The new format of the game is actually going to act as an added advantage in the field, as it will not only make the game much faster, but will also offer time to the players to re-energise during every quarter to fight more efficiently on the field,” Sreejesh said....
The original Home Alone movies are generally loved. The film is about Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), a mischievous boy accidentally left home alone by his family while going to Paris for Christmas Vacation. When two con men (Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern) plan to rob the McCallister house, Kevin must protect his home with his unique use of booby traps. With our audience’s fascination with reboots, it’s honestly about time that a new Home Alone reboot came along....
In America, at least among its estimated 40 million puzzle solvers, there may be no greater glory than having your name appear in the venerable grid. Except having your name appear above it. Shortz, 41, only the fourth editor in the 52-year history of the country’s most challenging newspaper puzzle, has a challenge of his own: to drag the grizzled game into the present. “The crossword has been alien territory, as if the culture had stopped in 1950,” says Shortz....
The Tigers’ such a sorry state was a matter of fun for the others, but it was hard for the local fans to digest such sort of trolls. But, over the last eight months, the picture of Bangladesh cricket is something different. Till now, it has been a matter of huge interest to the international audience, critics and ardent followers of the game. Two days back, at Chittagong, they clinched a stunning one-day international series win against one of the best teams of the format and the manner they notched up the victory was ruthless and dominating one....
As such, many Borderlands 3 fans are hoping to see their favorites return in some capacity, whether that’s Axton, Fiona from Tales of the Borderlands, or everyone’s favorite psycho, Krieg. There have been rumblings, in fact, that the final DLC would include him to some capacity, which isn’t surprising since he was originally supposed to be in the base game, or so it has been said. RELATED: Borderlands 3 Leak Claims Krieg the Psycho Was Originally in the Game...
The game showed so many people how fun hidden role-type games can be, especially when they’re so easily accessible and allow players to jump into games on their phones. Because of the hold that Among Us had on so many people following its rise to fame two years after it initially came out, it’s likely that the games industry is going to see an influx in hidden role games in the next few years, and that’s a good reason for fans of Among Us who’ve fallen off the game to be excited....
Voters have always indulged a certain amount of hyperbole and rhetorical excess from their politicians. Campaign promises lifted hearts and hopes, even if the promises later went unfulfilled. But increasingly people are fed up. They can see that the world is changing in ways that are perilous as well as promising. They don’t have a sense that their elected leaders are responding to the change in ways that affect their lives....
