Robin Singh, born as Robindra Ramnarine Singh in Trinidad, belonged to those rare species of cricketers who could bat, ball and field. Under-appreciated over the years, he was the workhorse on whom the Indian team relied upon in pressure situations. As they say, Robin Singh was “the first man you take to war”. Although not exceptional with either the bat or the ball, he could do a “job”, which at present, most captains around the cricketing world are looking for....

Clearly, the message resonated. For the past eight years, London Mayor Ken Livingstone presided over a city that prospered economically yet somehow failed to manage its growth. Infrastructure groans along. Londoners say crime is increasing. A survey last year by the consultancy Mercer ranked London 39th in the world for quality of life, far below many other major European capitals. One telling statistic: the city now boasts more billionaires than any other except New York—and some of the worst concentrations of deprivation in Britain....

Earlier in the week Bush did surprise reporters by appearing before them after meeting with the family of Army infantryman Chris Hill, killed by a bomb in the Iraq town of Fallujah. “We’ve got to stay the course and we will stay the course,” said Bush, who appeared teary-eyed. Hill’s father-in-law, Douglas Cope, had not been eager for the meeting with the president because, he told NEWSWEEK, he was concerned that the encounter would be “political....

First, there are the hard-liners, like former Netscape CEO Jim Barksdale, who are gleeful that the Redmond, Wash., giant got a generous helping of just desserts. Barksdale says big tech companies like Gateway and AOL, which remained largely silent last week, are unabashedly behind splitting Microsoft into two. “My friends who run those companies,” he says, “pat me on the back and say we’re sure glad you’re out there fighting this war....

It was revealed that Telltale is seeking other companies to pick up and finish the final two episodes of The Walking Dead: The Final Season, but two current employees speaking on terms of anonymity further revealed that the third episode was, in fact, nearly finished. More than that, however, the employees went on to explain Telltale’s plan: the company is seeking another company to hire former Telltale employees to finish the game on contract, which would bypass issues of getting additional funds for development but not paying severance to recently laid-off employees....

For The Witch Queen expansion, Destiny 2 provides two different campaign difficulty levels. The standard version is more in line with what many Destiny 2 players have experienced in the past. Its pacing and difficulty are acceptable, and for players that want to enjoy the game but also hit the story beats faster, it’s a great way to play through The Witch Queen in Destiny 2. The Legendary difficulty for The Witch Queen, however, brings a lot more to the table and forces players into challenging scenarios....

The Wild Hunt has strange origins, mysterious motivations, and a fascinating role to play in the story of Geralt of Rivia and Ciri. For those who may be unfamiliar, here’s what exactly the Wild Hunt is, how it has been portrayed in other media, and what fans might expect from it in The Witcher’s second season.

RELATED: The Witcher: Every New Witcher Introduced In Season 2 This upcoming season will be based on A Time of Contempt, the second book in the mainline Witcher saga. In addition to giving readers more of the characters they love, the tale also introduces several new faces to the dark fantasy world. Audiences are doubtless eager to see these guys brought to the screen. The first step in judging their adaptation is to see whom the creators cast in the roles....

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt still reigns as king in terms of open-world, fantasy RPGs. Its creative and well-developed cast of characters continues to inspire artists, especially in terms of cosplaying. But one particular fan of the series has added a unique twist to her design. She’s cosplaying The Witcher 3’s Ciri, but in full battle armor. The cosplay comes from Reddit user carleybombshell, who’s created cosplays for a variety of different mediums and characters....

The Conjunction of the Spheres is the event that created the Continent as fans know it. Without it, the Continent would be completely different and Witchers wouldn’t even exist. However, because it’s such an ancient event and the name almost feels scientific rather than magical, a lot of fans don’t really understand what it is. It’s not always explained clearly because, for the characters, the Conjunction is common knowledge. The opening monologue in in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt does a good job of explaining it concisely, but there’s a lot more to unpack about the massive, multi-dimensional event that started it all....

As such, it is hardly a surprise that fans wanted to see the adventures of Bigby Wolf continue in a sequel, and after years of waiting, they eventually got their wish. A 2017 reveal set the game up for a 2018 launch, though sadly, Telltale Games’ devastating closure made this seem unlikely. 2019 rekindled hope, however, comparing that the new version of Telltale was indeed working on The Wolf Among Us 2....

One team president said that the person in charge of selling sponsorship these days has the worst job in racing because it takes several pitches over several months to land a significant deal. One crew chief said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR’s vice president of competition, has the toughest job trying to manage the long list of rules for competition. One driver believes a crew chief has it tough, with all the decisions he must make before and during a race, plus the responsibility for setting up the car and running a team....

The ECW Originals comprehensively put over the Wyatts – which they direly needed, in a short yet effective feud that brought the extreme side of wrestling to the fore. Now, the WWE realises the Wyatts need a solid feud to continue the dominance and it could all begin on RAW. Below is the teaser WWE put out highlighting the fact that the new Wyatt feud is set to kick off on RAW:...

The show, like “The X-Files,” is literally and metaphorically an exercise in shadows and light. But the revelations here, when they come, tend to have the impact of a Wiffle ball. And while Carter’s thematic web intrigues at times–Biblical and Arthurian threads are intertwined with hints of “Heart of Darkness”–the show’s recollection of recent fare like “The Matrix” and the “Mad Max” films gives it that not-so-fresh feeling. Ultimately, though, the weakest point is Hobbes’s motivation, his pining for Sofie....

The 26-year-old Pennsylvania native is the undisputed starting goalkeeper of the U.S. national team (21 appearance and counting) and, on May 29, he could be one of the few Americans to hoist a UEFA Champions League trophy.

He has the reflexes and positioning instincts that allow him to make saves other goalkeepers can only dream about....

The implicit embrace of Democratic political dominance should send shivers down the spines of America’s small businesses. As corporate giants unite to help Democrats enforce their undeniably radical agenda, small businesses and American workers have the most to lose. Large companies with billions in reserves and operations in secure markets are aligning themselves with positions hostile to the nation’s workforce and its small business base. Corporations have as much right to a voice in the public square as any other entity, but their sheer dominance threatens to undermine America’s real economic engine—small businesses and the workers they employ....

That’s in stark contrast to other assistants from Google and Apple which have long given users a choice of voices. It won’t be until some time in 2022 that those in the UK will be able to say “Ziggy, set a timer for 30 minutes”. Changing Alexa’s voice is simple. Just say, “Alexa, change your voice”. If you’re told that isn’t possible, it’s because the update hasn’t yet arrived on your Echo speaker or Echo Show....

After Episode 3 felt like a bridge between the case that protagonist Bigby Wolf had first thought he was investigating, and the much larger criminal scheme at work (read our review), Episode 4 thankfully locks back into step with the style, writing, direction and pacing all working in tandem to deliver the best episode yet. The closing moments of Episode 3 certainly showed that Bigby’s life was in danger if he dug too deep into the dark underbelly of Fabletown, but the first screenshots and synopsis for ‘In Sheep’s Clothing’ promised that even more danger awaited....
