Zach “Asmongold” is one of Twitch’s biggest streamers, who has recently made a very successful return to streaming on his main account. Over the last few months, he has been streaming on a much smaller account on Twitch to lessen the pressure he feels whenever he has a large audience watching him. He made his return just a week and a half ago, pulling in an audience that reached four-hundred thousand at its peak....
Here is where the campaign could get interesting. When it comes to middle-class aspirations, Bush is in tune on tone; Gore is in sync on substance. The candidate who manages to thread his thematic needle best on these longings and insecurities wins. Beyond prosperity, the economic backdrop to this election is that the United States is rapidly resembling a Latin American republic. In 1976 the richest 1 percent held about 20 percent of the nation’s net worth....
According to the press release from Ubisoft, sent out today, the game focuses on Ezio’s, “journey to Rome, center of power, greed and corruption to strike at the heart of the enemy. Defeating the corrupt tyrants entrenched there will require not only strength, but leadership, as Ezio commands an entire Brotherhood that will rally to his side.” If you, like me, got all excited by the bell-tower meeting in Assassin’s Creed where Ezio had his nice meet’n’greet with the other Assassins, then the idea of a mini army is probably very appealing....
Alongside the historical settings already covered by the series, there are plenty of other locations and time periods fans would love for the games to explore.

For more reporting from the Associated Press, see below. This time, hopes loom for even a modest improvement on the current U....
Hong Kong’s authorities prohibited gatherings citing coronavirus restrictions, but police did little to stop crowds pouring into Victoria Park, which for three decades has been the epicenter of commemorations of Beijing’s move against a pro-democracy movement. On Thursday there was a minute’s silence, followed by shouts of pro-democracy slogans including “Stand with Hong Kong” and “End one-party rule,” referring to China’s Communist Party. Earlier, Hong Kong lawmakers had approved a bill making it a crime to insult China’s national anthem and two legislators were taken away after they threw a liquid onto the chamber floor, the BBC reported....
Laura, the 12th named storm of the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season, is expected to hit Louisiana early Monday morning as a major hurricane. In the last 24 hours, the storm’s wind speeds intensified to 46 miles-per-hour with no signs of slowing down, while satellite images showed it’s now a “formidable hurricane,” according to the NHC. When NASA’s Terra satellite and NASA-NOAA’s Suomi NPP satellite passed over the storm early Tuesday morning, it was about to move into the Gulf of Mexico and showed the most powerful thunderstorms were around the storm’s center....

ASD Cape Town have also confirmed that to date they have not been contacted by any club requesting international clearance for the youngster. “We haven’t been approached by any clubs for the international clearance of Brandon Fernandes,” ASD Director Mike Steptoe clarified in an official statement.“It’s fair to say that we have been extremely disappointed that Brandon has opted to be out of the game for so long, and continue to believe that joining an I-League side would be a massive step backwards for a player who twelve months ago had some of the top clubs in Europe showing interest in him....
It was a gripping contest for the first three days before the touring party’s batting failed to show any resistance, and hosts Australia came in touching distance of a win on the fourth evening itself. Needing 170 to win in the final innings, Australia were just 56 short when David Warner and Cameron Bancroft walked out to resume batting on Monday morning. It turned out to be a walk in the park for the Australian openers as they handed a crushing 10-wicket defeat to England....
Anderson experienced a calf issue while bowling on day one and left Edgbaston early to undergo a scan. The 37-year-old came in to bat as England surpassed Australia’s tally of 284 by 90 runs on day three, but he did not return for the final session. The ECB has now confirmed Anderson will not field for the rest of the Test, though the Lancashire paceman will bat if required....
Aussie opener David Warner registered a pair as he was caught at point off his nemesis Stuart Broad while going for a square drive. Marnus Labuschagne (5) also perished cheaply as he was strangled down leg by one from Chris Woakes. Mark Wood joined the wicket-taking act by snapping Usman Khawaja (11) with a brute of a bouncer that the left-hander could only glove to the keeper. Australia went to Stumps with Steven Smith unbeaten on 17 and nightwatchman Scott Boland on 3....
Stokes will not be considered for selection by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) until the conclusion of a police investigation following his arrest in Bristol in September on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm. He is permitted to travel, though, and the Christchurch-born star arrived in his native New Zealand ahead of a potential spell playing first-class cricket for Canterbury. The 26-year-old was quoted as saying by the BBC that he was “just looking forward to seeing mum and dad”, who greeted their son at the airport, together with film crews and reporters....
