That may seem like an overstatement but with tremendous courage and little fanfare the only people who have experienced nuclear war made it their mission to ensure no others would. They defied stigma at home and US government efforts to keep them and their horrifying first-hand witness hidden. They came forward and transformed ‘Hibakusha’ from a mark of shame to a nuclear-scarred badge of courage. They are the guardians of one of the worst events humankind has visited on our own people—one of the greatest war crimes in history....

Pakistan lost a crunch clash with India by 89 runs on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern, leaving Sarfraz’s side struggling on just three points from five matches.

Ray tracing isn’t new by any means, but it is steadily becoming a more common feature. Due to the technical requirements, many games don’t have this function, but some are opting to include it as an optional feature. Watch Dogs Legion does just that, allowing players to use it if they wish or if their hardware allows it.

That person also said they heard the object make a sound “like a sparkler on the 4th of July” as it raced through the sky for barely a couple of seconds....

Again. Biles wowed the crowd in St. Louis on Friday night during the first night of the women’s performances at the U.S. Team Trials to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics next month.

The Grammy-winner delivered a memorable Super Bowl performance consisting of seven songs. He opened with the title track from his 2018 album Star Boy before leading into his 2015 hits “The Hills” and “Can’t Feel My Face.” It wasn’t long until The Weeknd performed tracks from his 2020 album After Hours, closing the performance with an extraordinary choreographed take on “Blinding Lights,” culminating with an impressive fireworks display The Weeknd took the stage with a chorus and band wearing robotic masks while he sang “Star Boy,” seemingly referencing his collaborations with electronic music icons Daft Punk, before entering a backstage performance area, full with disorienting lights and mirrors, before a troupe of bandaged dancers rushed in....

The magic of Legally Blonde revolves around the movie’s main character Elle Woods. She is much more than what meets the eye.

With 43 points from 27 games, the Hornets are third in the standings and looking set to secure a place in the promotion playoffs. Rob Edwards was given the boot in September when the side was languishing in tenth place, with Slaven Bilic taking charge on the same day.

Until Intel wakes from the deep slumber, it has enjoyed those that want the fastest possible storage to have only the choice of mounting dual PCIe 3.0 units and RAID 0 striping them to compete. But that option assumes that the computer has dual or more M.2 NVMe slots and lots of computers used every day have none. Engineers at WD noticed this upgrade dilemma and came up with the WD Black AN1500, a solution that can add NVMe performance to machines that don’t sport M....

A brace from substitute Wissam Ben Yedder sent the LaLiga side into the quarter-finals at Old Trafford on Tuesday, earning a 2-1 aggregate win. Mourinho subsequently launched a 12-minute defence of his United record at Friday’s news conference ahead of an FA Cup quarter-final against Brighton and Hove Albion. And in his programme notes for Saturday’s tie at Old Trafford, the Portuguese again indicated he has not been unduly affected by the loss to Vincenzo Montella’s men, which came after three successive Premier League wins including a derby defeat of Liverpool....

However, a recent World Health Organization (WHO) study showed that there are seven times as many cases. As of Dec. 9, that means there have been more than 60 million additional COVID-19 infections. These numbers represent a significant data gap or “invisible curve” of the true impact of the disease in Africa. The Economist estimated that deaths are undercounted by as much as eight times official figures state—however anecdotal evidence such as a spike in hospitalizations or reports of morgues becoming overwhelmed has yet to support this figure....

As it turns out, that was just the beginning. In his massive new biography, “An Unfinished Life,” historian Robert Dallek reveals that JFK endured daily agony from a debilitating combination of illnesses: as president, he often needed a variety of narcotics just to get through the day. For the first time, Dallek was granted access to Kennedy’s medical records, long locked away by the family. They tell the story of a lifetime of treatments that may have exacerbated, or even caused, his condition....

Arsenal have been heavily linked with a move for the 18-year-old who has become one of Europe’s most sought-after strikers. “We have not made any offer,’ Wenger told reporters after Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Saturday. “I think he will stay, it looks like that. One more season. Maybe he has too much choice. In the end, people don’t move. “What we know now is that Mbappe is over 100 million (pounds) and after that it’s free to imagine what you want,” said Wenger....
