After all, Ubisoft has a way of teasing information about its upcoming games within the same franchise or even in other properties. The most clear example of this is when players discovered a viking tease in Division 2, leading to corroborations and rumors that the franchise was going to the Viking Era. Much is still unknown about the game, but if there is anything permitted here, then it’s most likely about vikings....
One aspect of Assassin’s Creed’s overarching plot that ostensibly features throughout the series is the Isu. Juno is one of this group’s most infamous members, and she plays a large part in the early games of the franchise. However, considering how important she is for the majority of initial games, Assassin’s Creed took an unusual step when it came to bringing her dramatic story to a close. Instead of settling it in-game, Juno’s fate was pushed to the sidelines and explored in the Assassin’s Creed comics in a bizarre move....
Johnson’s ad shows the politician showing up on the doorstep of a blase British voter, whom he proceeds to charm with promises while her husband sits on the couch, just as tired of the electoral situation as she is. After pretending to be a group of carol singers, thanks to a boombox, Johnson proceeds to hold up a series of signs for the voter to read, much as Andrew Lincoln did in the film....
Mark Paoletta, attorney for Thomas, told the Associated Press (AP) on Wednesday that his client would voluntarily speak with the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol regarding the longtime conservative activist’s work around the 2020 election. Thomas’ agreement to speak to the probe follows speculation she would be compelled to testify after the disclosure of texts and emails showing she sought to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election....
Now that its playoffs are about to wrap up, and playoff ratings are at a 40-year low, the NBA commissioner said that social justice messages won’t be prominently displayed when the 2020-21 season begins. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver says the league will depend upon its teams and players to deliver those ongoing messages largely outside of the playing arena. Silver said it’s a conversation that will be held between the league and its players before the next season commences in a few months....
A survey conducted jointly by the Chicago Council think tank and the Moscow-based Levada Center polling firm published Friday revealed that 74% of Russians have favorable views of China, a finding that reflects the growing geopolitical warmth between the two nations. Just 45% felt the same about the European Union, and only 39% had a favorable view of the U.S. This data emerges amid a downward turn in the favorability of China in the U....
While he was there, he talked to some locals to gauge interest in hockey. “I got a variety of different responses,” Daly said. “The demographics of the market are pretty good in terms of average annual income. Las Vegas natives earn good salaries, good livings. I think they genuinely like sports. It’s a nighttime city, so it would have to be uniquely scheduled in terms of focusing maybe on industry nights as opposed to your typical Thursday-Saturday nights where everybody would be working....
Obama conveyed his belief that the “rule of law is at risk” to a conference of around 3,000 administration alumni on Friday, emphasizing the importance of working to elect his former vice president in November. A spokesperson for Obama confirmed to Newsweek the accuracy of the recording, which was obtained by Yahoo News. The spokesperson said that the focus of the call was to discuss electing “Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot this fall....
I Giallorossi were having a decent pre-season but went down 5-2 to Real Betis in their last outing with three players sent off too. Raja Casablanca, meanwhile, just wrapped up their 2021 league season in the Botola Pro, the Moroccan top-flight, finishing second to Wydad AC. However, they aren’t completely done yet, with an Arab Club Championship final against Al-Ittihad coming up next Saturday. The match could prove useful for Lassaad Chabbi’s side in terms of preparation as the Serie A giants will be a tough side to compete against, even though it’s only a friendly....

The order was issued at 5:30 a.m. MST, for the people of Gila County living on either side of State Route 77. The advisory called the threat “imminent and life-threatening.” The emergency advisory from Gila County put El Capitan in “Go” mode. Residents were asked to safely, but quickly evacuate the area.

Along with a 4,000 word joint statement demonstrating a range of policy alignments with Saudi Arabia, China agreed dozens of new deals in energy and investment as the Chinese premier met Arab state leadership from across the region and attended a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Xi’s visit follows visits earlier this year by presidents Biden and Putin, suggesting the Middle East is shaping up as a central theater for great power competition....
But another deadly threat is likely to lurk for some time—IEDs. Improvised explosive devices are killing Yemenis at alarming rates, with little international attention. Across the war-torn country militias, militant groups, criminals and mercenaries are exploiting the shortcomings of global disarmament and peacekeeping efforts to wage a war within a war, targeting civilians and fighters alike with a weapon that has come to symbolize today’s asymmetrical warfare. “I’d say that IEDs are still a blind spot of the international community despite the IED having been the defining weapon for over 20 years since the 9/11 attacks,” Iain Overton, executive director of United Kingdom-based nonprofit Action on Armed Violence, told Newsweek....
Australia have arrived in Adelaide for the second Test, with coach Lehmann arriving early to look at the pitch. The selectors and team manager Pat Howard have decided to have a reserve seamer who has been rested from Sheffield Shield matches. Faulkner’s inclusion would certainly bolster the Australia pace attack, and also extend Australia’s batting to No.8. “I’m really happy with the 12 we have put together and the 11 did the job in Brisbane and now it’s a case of working out what the best 11 is to get a result here,” Lehmann said....
Before being usurped by Joe Root, Compton was trailed as England’s opening batsman. He played nine tests for England and managed to score 479 runs at an average of 31.93 runs an innings; during this time, he managed to hit two hundreds and one fifty. Although not better than Root, Compton is a safe back up to have; he was named one of the five Wisden Cricketers of the year in 2013....
Tim Paine’s team, 1-0 up in the five-match series after their victory at Edgbaston was followed by a drawn Test at Lord’s, made three changes to their XI. One was enforced as Steve Smith was ruled out on Tuesday following a bout of concussion, and Marnus Labuschagne, his replacement during the game at Lord’s, came into the team from the start in Leeds. The tourists also chose to replace opener Bancroft with Harris and bring in seamer James Pattinson – who featured at Edgbaston – for Peter Siddle....
Smith made his second century of the first Test against England at Edgbaston, putting the tourists in a winning position on day four on Sunday. The right-hander, playing his first Test since his ball-tampering ban, made 142 in the second innings, having rescued his team with 144 in the first. Smith became the first Australian to score two centuries in the same Test in England since Waugh in 1997....
The EPL Tournament has 3 categories – Children (80 cm category), Junior (100 cm category) and the Open (120 cm category).

Somewhere between all of this, Ashish Nehra manages to break his finger, and then bowl a spell very important to India’s victory. He goes unnoticed, as is always the case when he bowls well. Almost as if he didn’t exist. He missed the final because of the broken finger. And then, he just vanished. The selectors had decided that at 33, Nehra was done for good. Ashish Nehra is a mystery....
