The big issue has been the actors in the play, but it is not limited to the ones that dominate the Ashes series. It’s about the entire team, really. England did pick their players based on form, but the top 6 have been incredibly weak in all 5 Tests. England has been in a sort of unique position because 2 of their top 3, Hameed and Malan, were nowhere on the selectors’ radar for this series some months ago....

Much more of David’s cannibalistic crew is shown in The Last of Us’ latest HBO trailer, for instance, and certain events look slightly different from what players may remember. One character, in particular, is omitted from The Last of Us’ games that many fans wished to know more about, such as Ellie’s mother, Anna. Anna is only brought up in some conversations as a friend of Marlene’s and through lore notes, but may be given a much bigger role in The Last of Us’ HBO show where she could potentially be played by Ellie’s Ashley Johnson....

Back during the premiere of his new movie Vengeance, Kutcher voiced how much he enjoyed coming back to play Kelso in the That ’70s Show spinoff. Kutcher also vocalized how weird it was to be back on set, but it was still fun nonetheless for him and Kunis to go back to their stomping grounds, especially since they were with people who they had worked with before.

Despite some one-sided contests, there were some close last-over matches in the tournament. The tie between India-Afghanistan and a nail-biting last over final between India-Bangladesh will surely stand in the mind of cricket fans for a long time. With the tournament now completed, let us look at a lineup of players who failed hugely in the Asia Cup 2018.

Sri Lanka’s Nuwan Seneviratne has been roped in by the BCCI to help the Indian team and assist Raghu, the team’s throwdown specialist for the 50-over tournament. A source close to the Indian Express was quoted as saying: “He (Seneviratne) will be assisting the team only for the Asia Cup. His inclusion is only on a trial basis for now. The BCCI is in regular touch with the Indian team management, and the request to look for a left-arm throwdown especially had come from the team....

The Indian handball contingent experienced a mixed Sunday at the Asian Games here with the women’s team forcing a come-from-behind 26-26 tie against Thailand while the men suffered a second straight defeat, going down 19-39 to hosts South Korea in their respective preliminary round matches. The men, having lost 20-39 against Chinese Taipei in the first match Saturday, trailed 6-21 in the first half but managed to reduce the deficit....

People in Assam were ecstatic and accolades poured in from all corners of the state and beyond as footage of Hima with the signature Assamese ‘gamosa’ wound around her neck and the national flag wrapped around her rejoicing at the track after her win was beamed by television news channels. Hima is lovingly called the ‘Dhing Express’ because she hails from a village near Dhing in central Assam. Congratulatory messages reached her parents from the Indian Olympic Association and Athletic Federation of India, numerous other bodies and people, while a large number of people, including her neighbours flocked to her home to celebrate her win....

If you don’t believe us, just look at their marketing budget. The British website MCV is reporting that Ubisoft plans to shell out over £4 million in the United Kingdom to support Assassin’s Creed III’s advertising initiative through the end of 2012, presumably in a bid to top Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Halo 4, and FIFA 13 on the Christmas sales charts. The splurge constitutes the Ubisoft’s highest ad spending ever, reaffirming the goals drawn out in March by Tony Key, senior VP of sales and marketing at Ubisoft: “The production value of the game, combined with the biggest marketing commitment we’ve ever made, will make Assassins Creed III the highest-selling Assassin’s Creed game ever,” he said back when Assassin’s Creed III pre-order sales were already eclipsing franchise records....

The game’s new setting and protagonist hit online before Ubisoft had planned, and it was immediately followed up with details and images from Game Informer’s cover story, leaked screenshots, official box art, and yesterday, the first ever Assassin’s Creed 3 trailer. Today, more leaks share exciting details about the addition of co-op play to the Assassin’s Creed franchise. Even though AC3 has reportedly been in the works for three years, between Assassin’s Creed II and now, two games filled the gap to allow the series to support annualized releases....

While details surrounding Assassin’s Creed Mirage are few and far between, a lot of information can be inferred from the official artwork and images that fans have seen. It seems the game will have the established character Basim Ibn Ishaq as its protagonist, and the plot could very well set the groundwork for a sad tale. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Community Raising Money for Cardiovascular Medical Research The Story of Basim in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Basim Ibn Ishaq was an integral character in the story of Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, being a high-ranking member of the Hidden Ones organization that would develop over time to become the Assassin Brotherhood....

AY.4.2 is an evolution of the Delta AY.4 variant, the latter of which has been widely detected around the world, particularly in the United Kingdom. AY.4.2 is characterized by two mutations in particular, in its spike genome: Y145H, and A222V. Scientists are still trying to figure out what these mutations might mean for the variant’s success. The Delta offshoot has come under the spotlight over the past several days after experts noted a sharp rise in its prevalence in the U....

On Tuesday, voters in Minneapolis voted against an effort to replace the city’s police department, which was initially prompted following the death of George Floyd at the hands of former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin. The effort also would have removed staffing requirements for law enforcement in the city. Following Floyd’s death, a number of other cities across the nation made similar calls to defund police departments. However, in San Francisco, one town has recently discussed the idea of hiring a private security patrol force amid an increase in crimes....

Those were the easy decisions. The hard ones? Those that address what happens when more people need care and care resources, than we have available. Those resources include ICU beds and mechanical ventilators. Saving lives drove us into medicine, but resource limitations underscore the harsh reality that we may not have all that we need. In a system perhaps marked by innovation, horizon expansion, and exceptional complex care, US medicine now enters principally uncharted territory....

This was the third meeting, and the first since 2017, between the two, with Puig holding the series lead. Both won their opening matches in straight sets making them warmed up for further competition. The Puerto Rican carries the forte of being strong on the hard courts while carrying a great right-handed serve. While she had to go three sets against the number one Taiwanese last time, the 25-year-old would bring her success from three days ago and go for it....

For the first eight seasons of the Pokemon cartoon, Ash Ketchum was voiced by Veronica Taylor. Taylor’s voice for Ash is iconic, and her love for the character and the television show is well known. Unfortunately, Taylor was replaced in Pokemon’s ninth season due to The Pokemon Company taking over licensing and changing recording studios. But Taylor has remained a huge fan. As such, she’s recorded a heartfelt and earnest congratulations for Ash, performed in-character as Ash....
