PLAYERS Conventional Wisdom C. Eastwood (+) Dirty Harry is Forgiven. Has Best Director locked, Best Picture likely. A. Pacino (+) Scent of a Winner! So what if he overdid it this time: he’s long overdue. E. Thompson (+) Oscar’s “Year of the Woman” yielded only one great role, and Emma got it. The Crying Game (+/-) From obscure to overexposed. Peaked too soon? Best bet: Screenplay. Big Studios (-) The independents are king....
Start with Eugene Melnyk, their mercurial owner and Ottawa’s Public Enemy No. 1 at the moment. MORE: Senators’ ‘rock bottom’ reaches new, disturbing depths A fish rots from the head down and Melnyk, through relocation threats, rankling franchise icons and generally poor management, is most responsible for creating this culture of dysfunction, maybe the worst in all professional sports. Complaints against the regime run the gamut, manifesting in their own communal movement complete with hashtags and billboards....
Otis the otter is being cared for by animal rescuer Pernilla Hägglund, who lives on Åland Islands located between Sweden and Finland. The otter was rescued by a group of working sailors who saw him “swimming for his life” from an eagle 11 days ago. “They stopped the attack and waited for a mama otter to show up but no one came,” Hägglund wrote in a viral TikTok video on her account @pernie....
Now, 12 months on from that hideous tragedy, the memory of those lost lives on in a club that has risen from the ashes of disaster. Chapecoense were almost gutted by the disaster that befell the LaMia 2933 charter flight, which went down just a handful of kilometres from its destination after running out of fuel. The club lost 19 players in its accident, as well as venerable coach Caio Junior....
Custom LEGO sets are not a new thing, but the fact that LEGO Ideas allows people to try and whip up a collaboration with LEGO directly has led to a huge number of exciting projects hosted on the website. A fan of Outer Wilds has, for example, created a special LEGO version of the game’s spaceship. RELATED: Outer Worlds Dev Obsidian Hires Outer Wilds Writer The LEGO version of the Hearthean’s ship from Outer Wilds features all the key details that made the vessel special in the first place, except in LEGO format....
RELATED: Bioware: 5 Reasons Why Alistair Is The Developer’s Best Romance (& 5 Why It’s Liara T’Soni) That is all fair enough. However, fans do still dream of what romancing certain characters would be like. Is there someone you would want to romance? What characters do you think would have interesting romance stories? Here are ten characters we think would be interesting romance options in The Outer Worlds. 10 Parvati Parvati is one of the most interesting characters in the game, especially from a romantic standpoint....
RELATED: The Outer Worlds: 10 Ways This Franchise Could Replace Fallout The guns, dialogue options, and melee weapons all work mostly the same. But, surprisingly, Melee builds are a bit more difficult in Outer Worlds, since running up to swing on a soldier while they pump lasers into your chest doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to. But have no fear! It’s absolutely possible, and we’re here with the best tips to help out those players who love swinging around a rock on a stick in a futuristic and capitalistic nightmare setting....
For the most part, Outlast 2 is a step up from the original game. However, anyone that quits before getting through the first half may not think so, as the first couple of hours is a slog. The first half of the game serves the purpose of introducing players to protagonist Blake’s limited abilities, like crawling under things, climbing over things, running away from enemies, and hiding in lockers. Needless to say, Blake isn’t a very compelling character from a gameplay perspective, and this makes the first half of the game rather dull....
The federal suit from Jefferson Elementary School parents Carmilla Tatel, Stacy Dunn and Gretchen Melton argues that their civil rights were violated when lessons from teacher Megan Williams exposed their children to transgender issues, according to The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A spokesperson for the Mt. Lebanon School District told Newsweek that the lawsuit was unfounded and said that the parents were mischaracterizing events “for sensational effect.” Williams, who has a transgender child, allegedly instructed students on issues of gender identity on March 31, which is International Transgender Day of Visibility....
Some of the classes have abilities that are incredibly similar, yet all of this does depend on the type of Outriders build a player is going for. Gun builds became quickly popular (and remain rather strong despite the recent nerfs, if not as powerful), but the variety of abilities tap into raw damage, DPS, control, tank, and more. The four classes all offer something, but with a proper DLC, there’s a strong case for more classes....
During the fifth Outriders Broadcast, People Can Fly unveiled its collaboration with Pope Art to release six custom controllers related to the game. It came near the end of the broadcast, which was already jam-packed with info on the Outriders demo, PC requirements, and more, and it was a strong finish to an overall solid presentation. RELATED: Outriders Complete PC Specs, Stats, and Options Breakdown These six controllers are designed with Outriders’ classes and core tenants in mind....
While the game only has four classes to pick from, with the huge amount of loot as well as the customization options through the abilities and skill trees, players will likely develop their own unique style. Over the past week, the official Outriders Twitter account has been showcasing one of the many possible high level builds for the Pyromancer class, known as the Fire Witch. With launch of Outriders less than a day away, People Can Fly has put out a lengthy video showcasing its high damage potential....
Adams gave out the information at a daily briefing at the Main Press Centre on Thursday, reports Xinhua. But he didn’t answer whether there have been any positive results so far. The Russian doping scandal has made the anti-doping program at these Games focus of attention. IOC announced earlier that up to 4500 urine tests and about 1000 blood tests will be done during the Games. When asked if the IOC “regrets” awarding the Games to Rio, Adams said, “Absolutely not....
The bus was traveling with at least 60 people on board, including carrying choir members, children and flower girls, as they headed to a wedding at St. Joseph’s Church in the parish of Kitui. The incident, which took place on Saturday, happened when the bus driver made an unsuccessful attempt to navigate a submerged bridge and cross the Enziu river. The driver had waited for two hours before deciding to attempt a crossing....
The survey, which was released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, found that 64 percent of Republicans support the increased payments, along with 90 percent of Democrats. Among all respondents, nearly 8 in 10 said they would support the higher payments. The survey was conducted between January 28 and February 1 and had responses from 1,075 adults. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll’s results come as some Republican lawmakers in Congress are trying to block Biden’s efforts to provide the $1,400 payments, amid ongoing negotiations for a third coronavirus relief package....
While urinary urgency, the sudden urge to empty the bladder, is the defining symptom of OAB, the failure to appropriately treat the condition can lead to an array of unexpected—and potentially debilitating—complications. Although OAB is not life-threatening, it is a condition that can persist for years if not treated appropriately. Even so, as many as 61% of people with OAB will experience symptoms even with treatment, albeit to varying degrees....

Anyone with taxable profits in real estate or stocks will love this remarkable proposal, which can cut the average capital-gains tax almost to zero (table). As a practical matter, however, the bill is a Newtron bomb. Its appalling complications would add volumes to the tax regulations and hours to your paperwork. The cuts – far too deep to pay for themselves in revenue growth – are projected to add from $54 billion to $61 billion to the federal deficit over five years....
Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough decided that the Raise the Wage Act 2021 did not fall within the remit of budget rules, which would have allowed it to be passed through the reconciliation process via a straight majority. Denied the fast-track process that would bypass the 60-vote legislative filibuster, the key progressive policy which would have seen a rise to $15 an hour by 2025, appears to be nixed. However, the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) said it would not give up and took aim at MacDonough and the Republicans for blocking a policy that would lift many out of poverty....
Actually going by the name Camouflage, the costume is part of the Archives 2021 event.
