More often than not, this reduced episode count is due to a reduced number of writers. Whilst, for US series, it’s common for a show to be written by a big team, with every member plotting out and scripting a few episodes each, in the UK, series are usually penned only by one or two individuals – it’s too much work for them to pump out 23 episodes a season....
The crew over at the Star Wars-focused “Blue Bantha Milk Co.” YouTube channel gathered an eclectic group of fellow hardcore Star Wars fans to breathe life into a script that defies many laws of storytelling and possibly a few laws of decency. As for how they created such a unique story, the video’s description explains it, saying, “we fed an A.I. the scripts for episodes 1-9, wrote an opening crawl, and let the AI (mostly) do the rest....
When the emergency room nurses were eating lunch at a Taco Mac restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, on September 3 they spotted a truck across erupt in flames. One of the nurses, Rebecca Martin, called 911. Her two co-workers grabbed a Taco Mac fire extinguisher and rushed to the scene. The video, which was taken by Martin and posted on Instagram, shows two nurses hosing down the smoking car with a fire extinguisher....
In this grainy piece of cinema history, Thomas is the only person seen on the screen in a tight close-up as director Steven Spielberg and his crew offer some stage direction before playing out a particularly heart-wrenching scene. Unlike the rather different vibe (to say the least) seen in the original Bill and Ted auditions, this short clip is a real tear-jerker even outside the context of the Universal movie, and it’s immediately obvious why Spielberg chose Thomas for the part....
The 35-year-old is well known to the Vicarage Road faithful after spending two consecutive seasons on loan with the Hornets from Manchester United during the 2005-06 and 2006-07 campaigns. Foster - who has been capped by England eight times - featured in all but one of West Brom’s Premier League games last season as they suffered relegation to the Championship. He has made an immediate return to the top flight, however, with Watford holding an option over an additional 12-month contract should the goalkeeper impress....
Watford v Tottenham Hotspur Preview Watford host Tottenham Hotspur at Vicarage Road as one of the in-form teams in the Premier League currently. The Hornets’ stunning resurgence under new manager Nigel Pearson has seen them climb out of the relegation zone despite having tallied just nine points in their first 16 league games. Tottenham Hotspur, on the other hand, have been inconsistent, to say the least under Jose Mourinho and will have their work cut out for them against a side that can’t seem to do anything wrong at the moment....
AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - An emotional Tom Watson shed a tear strolling up 18 at Augusta National on Friday disappointed he missed the cut in his final Masters but happy he doesn’t have to play the uphill par-four hole anymore. The 66-year-old Watson posted a six-over-par 78 in his Augusta goodbye for an eight-over 152 total to miss the cut by two shots. “It’s a little bit out of my league now, the golf course, certain holes in particular,” smiled the eight time major winner....
Wawrinka prevailed against Dimitrov in a topsy-turvy clash at the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati on Tuesday. Djokovic made a winning start to his title defence, while last year’s runner-up Federer could not be stopped by Juan Ignacio Londero or the weather. WAWRINKA COUGHS UP LEAD BUT STILL WINS Stan The Man’s gripping 5-7 6-4 7-6 (7-4) victory over Dimitrov had it all. Wawrinka lost the opening set and squandered a 5-1 lead in the third as Dimitrov threatened a stunning comeback....
While speaking on his podcast, Keepin It 100, Konnan turned back the clock to talk about Brian Cage’s wife, Melissa Santos, complaining on Twitter about her husband not being utilized properly. The WCW legend stated that Cage’s wife didn’t say anything wrong. However, he added that management might have been upset that Cage’s wife is trying to bury them on social media. Konnan also believes AEW should have informed the former FTW champion about changing his style if they weren’t satisfied with what he was bringing to the table:...
He is protected. His supporters are not. In the hospitals, clinics and communities that we serve, we operate differently. Not only must we be protected, but so, too, must our “audience”—our patients and their families, as well as our co-workers and fellow citizens. The methods we use to protect ourselves are evidence-based: wearing masks, maintaining 6 feet of distance, limiting the size of gatherings and washing our hands. We protect everyone around us by asking them to do the same....
Woodburn shot to prominence with a superb winner in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat of Austria, the substitute’s goal preserving his side’s hopes of qualifying for next year’s World Cup. The 17-year-old attacker had been courted by England at youth level before confirming his commitment to Chris Coleman’s Wales - the birthplace of his maternal grandfather. Southgate wished Woodburn well for the future and insisted that capping players for the purpose of locking in their allegiance was not in the national team’s interest....
But in addition to his on-court exploits, the World No. 1 has also made the headlines with his off-court adventures - most recently the creation of the Professional Tennis Players Association (PTPA). Novak Djokovic seems extremely determined for his breakaway player association to not just see the light of day, but also bloom into a healthy and functioning organization. Speaking after his win against Salvatore Caruso in the opening round of the Rome Masters, the Serb elaborated upon his plans for the PTPA....
We Happy Few has been rated R18+ by the Australian Classification Review Board, and will be available in Australia when the game launches worldwide on August 10 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Better yet, Compulsion Games didn’t have to make any changes to We Happy Few to get its classification, meaning Australian fans will be able to play through the same version of the game as everybody else....

Debra and Steven Mejeur of Kalamazoo, Michigan were visiting a friend in Illinois with their black Labrador Lola, who was trained to help Debra Mejeur in case of a seizure, in 2017.

I love those features, too, but I didn’t know about them at first glance. If your style is like mine––Bohemian-meets-modern-urban––you are likely first attracted to this bag’s waxed canvas-and-leather construction. I’m tempted to say it looks casual, but the truth is the ubiquitous style mirrors your personal fashion. It looks equally at home on the desk of a C-suite executive as it does near the yoga mat of a footloose nomad....
