We had a thunderous start to the year with India registering their first Test victory in South Africa after 7 years. After that, the Test cricket fraternity was stunned by “Sand-paper gate incident” which incidentally lead to the downfall of Australia’s Steven Smith and David Warner. With the end of India’s tour of England, the Test cricket fans witnessed a mouth-watering series even though the scoreline (Eng 4-1 Ind) doesn’t do justice to its competitive nature....

Sadowitz, an American-born Scottish stand-up performer known for his edgy material, reportedly made controversial comments during his Friday night set at the Fringe, in addition to exposing his genitals onstage. The venue hosting the festival—the well-known Pleasance at Edinburgh International Conference Centre—canceled Sadowitz’s Saturday show. In a statement, Pleasance said it had received “numerous complaints” about Sadowitz’s Friday performance for, “among other things,” being “extreme in its racism, sexism, homophobia and misogyny....

Celebrities including Tina Fey, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon have come under fire recently for making racially insensitive jokes or working on problematic material in the past. Even Friends has been catching more ridicule lately, because of its pretty striking lack of diversity. And while there are more plenty of other older shows that would likely get canceled—figuratively, and maybe literally—in a heartbeat if they were to premiere in today’s socially conscious climate, according to comedian Robin Tran, there’s one old show that particularly sticks out: Family Matters....

Community creator Dan Harmon recently spoke in an interview with The Wrap about Community. In the interview, he acknowledged that conversations are happening about the Community movie, though cautioned fans now to raise their expectations. “Keep ’em nice and low and then be pleasantly surprised,” he said. “So I can say that there are conversations happening that people would want to be happening and that I’m very, very excited about the coming months....

In the near future, you will be able to play that same game for free. THQ announced today that the popular PC game would be re-released as a free-to-play title, under the name Company of Heroes Online.

Hornet brings a whole new playstyle to the Hollow Knight series, as she is much more nimble and agile than her predecessor. She also has more personality than the original Knight because she has the ability to talk, and this should give fans better insight into where the story and world takes them. Though Hollow Knight: Silksong should feel like a familiar return, the protagonist change should give players a much different experience....

In 2015, Sony and Disney finally put pen to paper, and signed a deal that saw Tom Holland debut as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s version of Spider-Man for 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. Just two years later, Insomniac Games found widespread success with their own Peter Parker, in the PS4-exclusive Marvel’s Spider-Man. What’s striking is how both interpretations manage to be distinctly different on the surface, yet instantly recognizable when compared under a closer microscope....

In terms of breaking news about the next-gen consoles, UI changes are generally towards the bottom of the list of priorities. Microsoft and Sony more than likely want to prioritize emphasis on the games that can be played on the new consoles, and the graphical/processing capabilities of said consoles. That being said, at the end of the day, fans do eventually want to know what’s changed on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S user interfaces, even if it’s not the most glorious news....

Today I have compared the Bollywood actors and Indian cricket players in terms of love, hate, hype, and versatility. #1. The Underdog The title belongs to none other than Rahul Dravid.

The JAK-12 is the sixth shotgun in Modern Warfare and Warzone, joining the Model 680, R9-0, 725, Origin 12, and VLK Rogue. To unlock the JAK-12, players will need to get three hip-fire shotgun kills in seven different multiplayer matches. This can be done fairly quickly, as the matches don’t need to be played all the way through. RELATED: Call of Duty: Warzone Receiving Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre Skins for Halloween...

To a country that seems to have decided that the Ramseys are guilty, friction between the authorities seems incomprehensible. But the case is still far from solved. NEWSWEEK has learned that some of the press reports most damaging to the Ramseys–no sign of forced entry at the house on the night of the murder; the absence of footprints in the snow; semen on Jon-Benet’s body; even an accent mark on the word attache in the ransom note-are wrong....

As an herbal supplement, coltsfoot has been used both in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Western herbalism, primarily as a treatment for sore throat and chronic (long-term) coughs (such as from emphysema). Coltsfoot is also known as Folia farfarae, Filius ante patrem, and Kuandong Hua. The Latin name, Tussilago farfara, is derived from the word “tuss,” meaning cough, and “lago,” meaning to dispel, which also explains the term “anti-tussive.”...

Already at 15 Grand Slam titles, Djokovic is now only two majors behind Rafael Nadal’s total of 17, and five shy of Roger Federer’s men’s record of 20. So a day after winning the Australian Open for his third Slam trophy in a row, Djokovic was asked about whether he is pursuing them. It’s the sort of thing some athletes — including Nadal, repeatedly, over the years — downplay or try to deflect entirely....

Instead, Combate’s knockout artist got slapped with “The Bitter Truth.” Cooper “The Bitter Truth” Gibson immediately put Palacios on notice of his power with an emphatic takedown early into the first round. Seconds later, he mounted Palacios and was sneaking in elbows and fists. When Palacios made the mistake of momentarily giving up his back, Gibson capitalized by swinging around and securing an arm triangle to which Palacios tapped out to, awarding Gibson the stunning first-round submission....

The scientists working on the meteorite rushed to acknowledge the circumstantial nature of their evidence: complex molecules, crystals that look like those produced by bacteria here on Earth and tiny tubes that look like terrestrial fossil bacteria. Any single finding could be refuted, but taken together they were enough for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to call a press conference last Wednesday, and for NASA administrator Daniel Goldin to brief the president on the possibility of life in outer space....
