Though John Cena was expected to be back to the main event picture, nobody could have predicted Survivor Series to end with John Cena coming out and standing before Randy Orton. The WWE champion and the World Heavyweight Champion held their respective titles up high. Will the titles be unified? Or is it just the beginning of the end for the Authority and so is it just the beginning of the end of Randy Orton’s status as the ‘face of the WWE”?...
When the dominant top three fail to score in crunch matches, the middle order falls apart. That is not a sign of a healthy team. The ICC World Cup 2019 saw India struggling to get their No. 4 right. Starting from KL Rahul to Vijay Shankar and then Rishabh Pant, India couldn’t find the player that would suit the role. And they paid the price for that in the semi-finals against the Kiwis....
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has continued to move forward into Phase 4 with the release of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings earlier this month. The film is mostly a self-contained story, focusing on the conflict between the title character and his father Wenwu, aka the Mandarin, rather than the wider narrative of the MCU — however, that doesn’t mean that the film holds no hints at all towards the MCU’s future....

Fernando Alonso took the second spot on the podium after starting the race from 6th place while Lewis Hamilton completed the podium.

Employees at Mowi West Canada’s Mahatta West farm in Quatsino posted the clip on their Facebook page. They were alerted to the situation when they heard the bird’s panicked shrieks as the giant Pacific octopus wrapped its tentacles around its body, trying to pull it beneath the surface of the water, local news station CTV reported. Crews were just wrapping up work for the day when the animals came near the facility, the eagle floating on the surface of the water as the octopus constricted around it....
With the game tied late, Tatar’s pass at the top of the crease went off the stick of Vegas defenseman Shea Theodore and past netminder Marc-Andre Fleury to give the Canadiens a 5-4 win. ` It marked the seventh goal and 14th point in 17 games for Tatar, who played 20 regular-season games last year with Vegas after being traded by Detroit in February. Following the trade to Montreal, the 27-year-old center told reporters during a conference call, “I want to prove I can be on the top lines and be productive and I can score maybe 30 goals....
Defining Remission Remission means that your disease is no longer active. Spontaneous remission in RA is rare. People who experience remission with RA usually do so while on medication. That means if medication is stopped, the disease will likely become active again. RA remission may mean a person’s symptoms are completely gone, or that they have an occasional flare-up of joint pain and morning stiffness. The American College of Rheumatology has published specific guidelines for defining RA remission....
The United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence said Tuesday that it believes Russian Killjoy missiles are being held at Belarus’ Machulishchy Airfield. Satellite images showed Russian jets parked at the field alongside a canister “likely” associated with a Killjoy air-launched ballistic missile, the ministry wrote in its daily intelligence update. Killjoy missiles have several advantages over other missiles the United States has provided Ukraine, including M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS)....
Can Umcka Help? To date, few studies have explored umcka’s efficacy in the treatment of health problems. Existing research suggests that umcka may help manage the following conditions: Colds: For a report published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in 2013, researchers sized up 10 previously published clinical trials comparing the effects of umcka to those of a placebo in the treatment of acute respiratory tract infections. In their review, the report’s authors concluded that umcka “may be effective in alleviating symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis and the common cold in adults”....
Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly promised “more boots on the ground” in remarks and Friday and urged protesters not to come to Ottawa but he did not share details about potential police deployments. Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a state of emergency in the Canadian province on Friday and both he and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned of “consequences” for protesters. Sloly told reporters on Friday that intelligence suggested that the protest this weekend could be as large as last week, which saw around 5,000 protesters and 1,000 trucks in the city....
Facing multiple choice questions from reporters, the sixth-seeded Canadian did turn down option C, poor, but Raonic knew he had ridden his luck against the 35-year-old Russian on Thursday to reach round three. “I think I won two points in the first two or three games. That was a bad start,” Raonic, who lost to Britain’s Andy Murray in straight sets in last year’s final, told reporters. “I was fortunate that I didn’t get down two sets to love....
Bergevin said Julien, 60, is being kept under observation at the hospital and that his condition has nothing to do with COVID-19. Julien will not return for the remainder of the Flyers series, and the Canadiens are not sure whether he will eventually re-join the team in the NHL bubble in Toronto or return home. In the interim, Kirk Muller will take over head coaching duties. “He’s for sure in really good hands,” Bergevin said of Julien on Thursday (via Sportsnet)....
GM Marc Bergevin went big but also went home, sending a five-year, $42.27 million offer sheet to Hurricanes forward and former RFA Sebastian Aho that was eventually matched by Carolina. Clearly, the Canadiens were looking to add depth to their attack’ signing a 22-year-old proven NHLer would’ve made a powerful impact, but they are forced to live life without Aho — or, perhaps, after Aho. This has left many wondering where the Canadiens might look next but they didn’t end up making a splash; however, this does not mean they failed to improve this offseason....
A new report from Game Informer, where the publication spoke to five former Rockstar New England devs and one from the NYC HQ (most requesting anonymity), details the history of Rockstar New England, the game it was developing, and how crunch dominated Rockstar Games back in the late 2000s. It should be noted that crunch at Rockstar all the way up to Red Dead Redemption 2 is no secret, but the company is allegedly taking steps to remove such practices....
However, following the franchise’s universally panned release of Dead Rising 4, the series has since lay dormant, with Capcom Vancouver - the team behind the series - shutting down back in early 2018. Tragically, rumors claimed that a fifth entry in the Dead Rising series was canned along with the studio. It seems fans are in luck, however, as games journalist Liam Robertson has since revealed a lot more about what this potential Dead Rising 5 would’ve been had plans proceeded as expected....
But an environmental consulting firm hired by Fallon has dismissed the tungsten theory outright, insisting there’s no evidence it’s toxic. And other critics dismiss community cancer-cluster probes in general on the ground that they rarely unearth a smoking gun because there are too many factors at work. Such thinking infuriates parents like Rivers. “This town is too small and the cluster is too big for it to be just a coincidence,” she says....
While the high rates of protection offered by the three authorized vaccines have been widely praised, they’re not 100%. Verywell asked experts to weigh in on whether non-vaccinated people can still get vaccinated people sick with COVID-19. The Risk Is Low, but Not Zero According to Stephen Russell, MD, PhD, president of the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy, despite the vaccines’ high efficacy rates at protecting people from contracting COVID-19, they do not offer 100% protection....
Opioids have long played an important role in medicine as a powerful method of controlling pain. However, opioids can also cause severe problems. These drugs are highly addictive. In fact, addiction both to prescription opioids and to illicit opioids (chiefly, heroin) has become a major societal problem. Opioid addiction is causing an epidemic of overdose-related deaths. In the U.S., more than 30,000 deaths from opioid overdoses were recorded in 2015 alone, according to the NIH....
