The Ishtar Collective shared an email it received from an English teacher named Jennifer. Apparently, Jennifer has a student in her class named Lucas who turned in the Ishtar Collective’s “entire website” as journal entries. Jennifer contacted the Ishtar Collective to make sure that the site wasn’t actually written by her student Lucas. We don’t know exactly how the Ishtar Collective responded to the email, but the Twitter account is having fun with the situation....
The player, wide receiver Ronnie Bell, was sent the email after he dropped a game-tying pass in the school’s 21-21 loss to Penn State on Saturday. The email was sent to Bell from another Michigan student, identified as Connor Grady. The message went viral after Bell’s father, Aaron Bell, shared it on social media. “Please quit the team already. Utterly sad that my tuition goes to paying for the scholarship for such a scrub a** player like you....
For the study, researchers analyzed data from 45 U.S. children’s hospitals between April 2020 to September 2020 of pediatric patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19. The study included nearly 20,000 children. Of those who were hospitalized, 3,222 had moderate COVID-19, 431 had severe COVID-19, and 380 had a very severe form of the disease. Of the children admitted to the hospital with COVID, 21% developed severe disease and required ICU care....
Before firmly cementing itself in the mainstream, there was a time when the term “gaming” was associated with lonely nerds sitting in front of a TV in the dark. Gaming was seen as a pastime for the awkward and stunted, or as an electronic babysitter for an unruly child. But gaming has grown from this negative stigma, with triple A games regularly selling millions of units and broadcasts of video games being played making their way to sports networks such as ESPN....
Published in the British Medical Journal, the study shows that the difference in death rates between Democratic and Republican counties increased by a factor of more than six times from 2001 to 2019. This was especially true among white Americans, and was driven by deaths caused by cancer, chronic lung disease, heart disease, suicide, drug overdoses and unintentional injuries. The researchers, led by Dr. Haider J. Wairrach of Harvard University, concluded: “Overall, our finding that Democratic counties have experienced steeper declines in mortality than Republican counties over the past two decades builds upon previous evidence suggesting that more liberal policies, laws, and regulations may be associated with better health outcomes....
While earlier the app used information from your historical data, it will now be using new toolbars so that users are able to find information faster. The app also comes with a sliding feature where you can preview the webpage before you decide to get there. About 25% of the website’s traffic comes from mobile phones and tablets. It is no wonder that the company decided to redesign their app after the iOS 6 update from the tablet and smartphone maker....
New Delhi, Jul 8 (PTI) For most, it was a bolt from the blue, quite a few even scoffed at it but for one man in the troubled state of Jammu and Kashmir, Pencak Silat’s inclusion in the Indian Asian Games contingent was the perfect culmination of a lone journey he started eight years ago in Korea. Srinagar-based Mohammad Iqbal is India’s national coach for the Indonesian Martial Art sport, about which very little is known in the country’s sporting fraternity....
Griezmann was thought to be bound for Camp Nou after announcing his decision to leave Atletico Madrid, but Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu claimed the Blaugrana have not spoken to the 28-year-old. When asked about the prospect of lining up alongside Griezmann in 2019-20, Suarez referred back to comments he made in December 2017 when he described the World Cup-winning forward as “an elite player”, but stopped short of reiterating his support for a move....
It’s a fabulous success story, about a young Dutchman, born Lourens Alma Tadema, whose parents thought art was no profession for a gentleman, who worked himself into tuberculosis studying law and art at the same time, who became a British citizen, a Royal Academician and was knighted by Queen Victoria. Merchandised by a shrewd worldwide dealer, his work became hugely popular in that other burgeoning empire, the U.S.A. Yes, but was it art?...
RELATED: Subnautica: How To Grow Plants A full version was met with widespread popularity when it finally released in 2018. This is due in no small part to its appearance on many “Let’s Play” channels such as Markiplier or Jacksepticeye who effectively promoted the game by playing it so much. The game, however, has become more expansive over time and as a result many players end up missing certain aspects of the game....
Many of the ores in Subnautica: Below Zero simply spawn either on the seabed floor or as part of Outcrops, but Crystalline Sulfur is different. There two main ways to acquire it, and both will have the player stepping outside of their comfort zone to a degree. RELATED: Subnautica: Below Zero - Where to Find Magnetite The first place players should look when searching for Crystalline Sulfur is on Delta Island....
That ovation would have been appreciated by millions of people who regularly use the Internet and come in contact with virtually no sexual content whatsoever. Net citizens are increasingly infuriated by the perception that cyberspace is nothing but an electronic Nighttown populated with the digitalized equivalent of porn mags and sex clubs–as well as history’s most fertile feeding ground for real-life child molesters. Their gripe is legitimate. While no sane modem jockey disputes the existence of an active sexual overground on the Net, you would think, from the endless stream of tabloid-level news reports and hotly argued political attempts to censor the Net, that this was the biggest problem in cyberspace....
Both of the new consoles stand out in different areas. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series support up to 8K resolutions, deliver high frame rates and include built-in SSD storage. The differentiators are significant with exclusive games, controller design and standout features. I’ve been testing the PS5 vs. Xbox Series X connected to a Vizio OLED TV that supports the higher refresh rates in new games and that allows us to go head to head with the console capabilities on the same screen....

The ghostly features are the result of a pair of supermassive black holes, each located at the heart of two radio galaxies, spewing out jets of electrons, which are being shaped by intergalactic winds in a peculiar way, according to a study accepted by the journal Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia. The strange clouds, which have never been seen before, were uncovered during the first wide and deep search conducted by The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s (CSIRO) Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope....
Carroll joined Swansea in January for a reported fee of 4.5 million pounds ($5.60 million) to end his long spell at Spurs. While Spurs are in hot pursuit of league leaders Chelsea, at the other end of the table Swansea are just a point and a place above the relegation zone. “It will feel a bit strange for me playing them because I was there from the age of eight,” Carroll told British media....

The first expansion set is known as “Trials of the Dragon King,” which take place after the main game’s story.

A set of new jobs, classes, and weapon types are also coming to the game, such as staves....
Were you a fan of the original Ghostbusters films? I was a giant fan. I was obviously drawn to it because it was Ghostbusters, but it also felt new and fresh without it feeling like a completely new movie. It has the original Ghostbusters feel, but also something that’s new and exciting. I was especially drawn toward it because Jason Reitman was doing it. And that’s it’s like a family affair....
