Robinson hopes for “a breakthrough” in Durban that ushers in new era in human relations. The “catharsis” will come, in her view, from nations’ addressing “the exploitations and violations of the past” and making amends–or at least sincerely apologizing–for colonialism and slavery. Many of Robinson’s U.N. colleagues share neither her enthuiasm nor her faith. Instead of seeing the conference as an opportunity for global reconciliation, they see it as an invitation to litigation and demands for compensation, and a venue of potential embarrassment....

Mane, who qualified third for the final, shot 247.5 to win the silver while Grigorii Shamakov took the gold with 249.2. Aleksa Mitrovic of Serbia won the bronze with a score of 227.9. It was close fight among the three podium finishers till the end and Mane edged out Mitrovic for the silver medal by collecting 228.0 as against 227.9 of the Serbian shooter in the penultimate round. But, the final round was not the best one for the Indian as he shot 9....

Here’s a glance at five short works I recently read, one per day, over about a week. These were my criteria: Juiciness Nothing tedious, nothing ponderous, nothing that could tempt me to put down the book and check my e-mail. Pure fun. Brevity Readable in about as much time as it would take to watch a movie. Grandeur Short in length but epic in scope. Bartleby, the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street by Herman Melville....

Carlos Queiroz’s men were on the back foot for much of the Group B clash and looked to have held on for a goalless draw when Aziz Bouhaddouz put through his own net in the 95th minute. And the nature of that strike meant that Iran made rather bizarre history in Saint Petersburg. For the first time since the 1966 tournament, a team scored a World Cup goal without having a single shot in that half of football....

After over four months of research, the study found that about one in four people with blood cancer will not develop antibodies after getting vaccinated against COVID-19. The researchers published their findings in the journal Cancer Cell. The Study In March of 2021, the LLS asked blood cancer patients to contribute to the LLS National Patient Registry, a voluntary databank that is used to track trends and yield topics for future clinical trials....

I looked in other major online retailers and found non-Dell compatible batteries for $30-40. The user reviews are mixed on the non-Dell websites. Some are happy and for others it doesn’t even work. Any ideas? Thanks.

While some fans want more Red Dead Redemption 2 content, others are hoping that if the studio is not looking to develop another AAA game any time soon, a remaster of the original Red Dead Redemption remaster could be in the works. Here’s the case for both a remaster and Red Dead 2 DLC, and which might be more likely. RELATED: Red Dead Redemption 2 Player Uses Photo Mode to Spot Weird Error in the Game...

As superhero movies continue to dominate at the box office, many television networks are taking advantage of the excitement among fans and are pumping out at least one new superhero-based show each season. And as the hype for these shows continues to grow, we imagine there will only be more to come. It’s not just television networks taking advantage of the current popularity of superheroes, either - the video game industry is also doing its best to capitalize on the trend....

Shubhankar, who just could not get his game going, had three birdies, three bogeys and two doubles in the final round to finish with a total of eight-over 292. It was his fifth successive WGC appearance and Shubhankar was disappointed that he couldn’t come close to the Tied-ninth finish he had on his first WGC start at the same WGC-Mexico Championships last year. “Things did not happen. I have just put it out of my memory....

With this bat endorsement Shubman joins the likes of Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Ishan Kishan and women cricketer Harmanpreet Kaur.

How does it feel to be making your Broadway debut at this point in your career? Everything in its own time. To be making my debut with this show, in particular, is such a blessing. It’s a show that I feel is really timely and important, especially after the last year and a half with COVID and the Black Lives Matter movement. But to have something like this on now, it’s a story we need to be talking about....

Would you support the United States if it goes to war against Saddam Hussein? We are basically against a military operation against Iraq. Of course it all depends. If Americans are going to attack Iraq unilaterally, we certainly would not be supportive. In the case that Iraq does not comply [with U.N. resolutions] and the Security Council would authorize using force against Iraq, it would be a different story. But basically we cannot agree with the U....

That relatively sweltering high temperature shattered a record for the city by 5 degrees. Temperatures in the Alaskan city located more than 1,000 miles north of Seattle had not reach that level since June 14, 1969, when the thermometer hit 85 degrees. The average high for Anchorage on Independence Day has been 65 degrees, according to the NWS, whose records go back as far as 1954. The state’s most populous city, which boasts a population of roughly 300,000 people, Anchorage also had its hottest June ever, with an average temperature for the month of 60....

Marsh suffered the injury while diving to stop a boundary in Glamorgan’s match against Sussex in Cardiff. He immediately signalled to the dressing room after making the dive. “Shaun’s a tough guy, so it’s certainly not a bruise the way he walked off holding his shoulder,” said Glamorgan coach Robert Croft after the match. “So we’ll have to wait and see, but we hope the scan will be favourable to us....

The Celtic Warrior told me how close he was to retirement following a concussion sustained shortly after WrestleMania, all about his ambition to win the WWE Intercontinental Championship as it’s the one prize that has thus far evaded him, as well as fantasy booking a dream football-crossover match, and opening up on whether UFC star and fellow Irishman Conor McGregor will end up in WWE. One thing I had to ask of the Irishman, though, who found mainstream acting fame in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, was which celebrity he’d like to see transition into professional wrestling - and the answer was most definitely one that no-one could have ever predicted or expected....

During today’s Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct, franchise creator Masahiro Sakurai announced that transformations would be completely removed from the franchise. He then proceeded to confirm that the likes of Zero Suit Samus and Sheik (the two infamous transformations of Samus and Zelda, respectively) will be returning, but they’ll be occupying their own spot on the roster this time around. Sakurai elaborated on this decision during the Nintendo Direct presentation, confirming that transformations have been cut in order for players to focus on using just one move set per character....

While Sony will provide marketing money, and Sega will no doubt supplement the title’s budget, there’s a good chance that Yu Suzuki and his team are going to have to make some compromises to complete Shenmue 3. The game’s framerate seems to be the first feature on the chopping block. Speaking to DualShockers, Suzuki noted that he was ’thinking about 30 frames per second’ before going on to say that ‘60 might be too difficult, but I’m not sure yet....

As seen below in the video courtesy of Digital Foundry, Shenmue fans can get a better idea of what Sega initially had in mind for the now-defunct remake project of the original game by viewing comparison footage of the recent remasters and the cancelled gameplay. One of the best and simplest examples of how the unreleased remake version of Shenmue differs from the remasters is by using the Hazuki compound’s grounds from the first game as a comparison point, as one will notice the environment art of the former receiving a lot more attention to detail than the latter....

COVID-19 infections at the studio had already been a concern as early on as the first episode’s release in April; however, those suspected delays have now emerged.
