The most common symptoms include fever, headache, stiff neck, nausea, and fatigue. Aseptic meningitis can improve on its own without long-term effects. However, seeking medical attention is important if you develop any symptoms because these nonspecific symptoms can occur with many different health issues. Less often, aseptic meningitis can cause serious problems, like seizures, a stroke, or encephalitis (inflammation involving the brain tissue). Worsening aseptic meningitis can be life-threatening....

England, who were thrashed in the series opener at Edgbaston, recovered a foothold in the second match at Lord’s on day three. Debutant Jofra Archer collected his first Test wicket, while Broad improved his figures to 2-26 as Australia were reduced to 80-4, 178 runs behind in the first innings. But with Wednesday’s first day a washout and play halted just before lunch on Friday, with England in the ascendancy, Joe Root’s men are running out of time to level the series in this match....

Broad dismissed David Warner (11) for a record-equalling seventh time in the series and Marcus Harris (nine) after the tourists were set a mammoth 399 to win the series 3-1 on a glorious Sunday in London, with England all out for 329 early on. Marnus Labuschagne fell to Jack Leach and Broad (3-40) ended the prolific Smith’s run of 10 consecutive Ashes half-centuries, removing the former captain for 23 early in the afternoon session....

England paceman Jofra Archer’s vicious bouncer struck the former Australia captain on the neck. Although Smith returned to resume his innings on Saturday, Cricket Australia (CA) announced the 30-year-old would not play any part on the final day of the second Test, when his team batted out a draw. To understand why Smith’s concussion may not have been spotted during initial assessments, Omnisport spoke to expert Dr Sam Barke, medical director of Return2Play, about the protocol and the measures typically taken....

Fittingly, the series ended with a 2-2 scoreline but Australia retained the Ashes for the first time since 2001. Steve Smith’s Don Bradman-esque batting was evened out by a superhero effort from Ben Stokes at Headingley, who was England’s saviour throughout the series. Jofra Archer’s pace provided a new dimension to England’s struggling bowling unit and his duel with Steve Smith at Lord’s was a sight to behold. Despite all the individual heroics, there were a few terribly upsetting performances in the series....

Both sides came into November’s opening Test in Brisbane with question marks over several of their selections, but as the five matches unfolded it became abundantly clear that worries over the home team’s top and middle order were largely without merit, while the tourists’ frailties with both bat and ball were ruthlessly exposed. Numbers often tell the story – the top three run-scorers were all Australian, as were the four leading wicket-takers and the five men with the highest average....

The bidding for the two new teams was won by Intex and Sanjeev Goenka’s “New Rising”. Intex will be shelling out 10 crores for Rajkot and the latter will have to pay 16 crores for the Pune Franchise to BCCI. With the player draft ahead in 2 days’ time, Ravichandran Ashwin, former CSK player was excited, and tweeted, “In three days’ time, Pune or Rajkot will be my new summer destination....

Afghanistan captain Asghar Stanikzai won the toss and decided to bat first. Mohammad Shahzad and Ihsanullah started with positive intent, scoring 45 runs in the first 10 overs. Akila Dananjaya got the breakthrough dismissing Mohammad Shahzad for 34. Both Afghanistan openers added 57 runs for the opening wicket. Ihsanullah and Rahmat Shah consolidated the innings with a 50-run stand for the 2nd wicket. Dhananjaya got the wicket of Ihsanullah for 45....

A lot has, however, changed since India’s lethargic performance against Pakistan. Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, they have revamped their style of play in T20Is. They will look to continue the process in Sunday’s mega clash as well. Babar Azam-led Pakistan, though, are expected to make life difficult for India again. Both sides will be without their lead pacers in the tournament. For Pakistan, Shaheen Afridi has been ruled out due to a knee injury....

Srikanth lost in straight games to ageing Malaysian Daren Liew, while Prannoy went down to unheralded Igor Coelho of Brazil to crash out of the World Championship at the pre-quarterfinal stage. “I am really disappointed with Srikanth and Prannoy. They need to find the consistency. You need to play differently when something doesn’t work. They are not being able to do that. Both of them are attacking players and when things go differently, they are not able to cope....

They were in cruise control throughout the match, with captain Ajay Thakur leading the way with a number of successful raids. He was ably supported in attack by Pardeep Narwal and Maninder Singh as the raiders piled on the points and contributed to the bulk of India’s score in the match. Out of the 44, 30 of India’s points came via the raiders through touch and bonus points. Here is the breakdown of the total raid points (30) scored by India:...

Asmongold has expressed frustration over situations involved in streaming before. He’s even been known to take a hiatus from Twitch every now and then to recharge his batteries and get back into a place where he feels that he can enjoy himself when he’s streaming. However, this time around he didn’t make comments about taking a break and instead talked about about quitting altogether, as the frustration level has gotten quite high....

Assassin’s Creed has also suffered from some news being leaked recently. The title for the next game in the iconic franchise, Assassin’s Creed Mirage was unveiled just before Ubisoft had a chance to confirm it, alongside some promotional images for the game. As well, a lot of information about the Ubisoft Forward presentation focused on Assassin’s Creed was unveiled by the same leaker, formerly an anonymous person on the internet known as The Real Insider on Twitter....

Assassin’s Creed Origins: Desert Oath has captured the same feeling as the game it is a prequel to, making it a must-read for those who want to know more about Bayek, or those who want to get lost in a carefully constructed, ancient Egyptian world of fantasy, politics, and, of course, murder. The novel starts with a teenage Bayek learning about his duties as a future Medjay, an ancient Egyptian military force that would later serve as an inspiration for the Brotherhood of Assassins....

This isn’t the first time that the Order of the Ancients has been shown in an Assassin’s Creed Origins trailer, funnily enough. The jackal-masked figure revealed as an Order of the Ancients member in today’s trailer was in fact the first recognizable character shown in Assassin’s Creed Origins’ world premiere trailer at E3. Masked figures are snuck into many of Assassin’s Creed Origins’ trailers, with the Gamescom trailer in particular having additional layers with the introduction of the Order of Ancients....

Election officials in Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Pennsylvania and Alaska were still counting ballots early Thursday, and waiting for others to arrive, including those from American troops and their families stationed away from their home counties. The absentee mail-in ballots have largely been breaking for Biden over the last few days, giving him the momentum that has put him on the verge of the presidency and drawing desperate, factually incorrect claims of electoral fraud from Trump....

During an interview with MSNBC, Lightfoot was asked about the rise in violence across Chicago and what she is doing to combat it. “Well, look, we can’t stop things that happen outside of our borders. Sixty percent of illegal guns that come into Chicago every year are from out of state, from Indiana, from Mississippi, from other states that have lax gun laws,” Lightfoot said in response. “When my people can go over the border to Indiana and buy military-grade weapons and bring them back in any quantity that they want as long as their money is right, that’s a problem....

The reason? Revival. At one end of the park was a stage covered with a large black awning proclaiming “Let Us Worship” in gold lettering. Standing onstage wearing a #40 Seattle Sonics jersey was Sean Feucht, 38, a California musician with long, flowing golden locks. “Yes, we are those crazy Christians in a park singing our guts out to Jesus tonight,” he said. “And we don’t give a rip what anyone thinks....

By using the Defense Production Act (DPA)—a rarely-used, Korean War-era law meant to ensure the availability of needed materials in times of war—for the second time, Trump directed Azar to use “any and all authority available under the Act to facilitate the supply of materials” to several manufacturers of ventilators, which are used to support COVID-19 patients whose symptoms are too severe to breathe on their own. The life-saving devices are just one of a number of medical necessities that have been in short supply due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic....

In fact, the Data for Progress poll found H.R. 1—also known as the For the People Act—has broad public support. More than two-thirds of likely voters (68 percent) said they would back the proposal. Just 16 percent said they opposed it. The support also transcended party lines, with 70 percent of Democrats, 68 percent of independent or third-party voters and 57 percent of Republican voters expressing approval for the bill....
