The Year Of The Tear

First there was Diana. Of course, hers was a tragic death and she was in many ways a remarkable person. But is it churlish to suggest that the thunderous international keening, the clear-cutting of flower beds all over Europe, the launching of a thousand magazines to pay tribute to her was more than a bit overdone? This wasn’t grief, it was emotion run amok. What made this eruption of tears all the more remarkable was that its epicenter was England....

The Young Bucks Reveal How Much Money Wwe Offered Them Before They Joined Aew

The Yugoslav Model

The ambush has shattered a brief time of peace in Aceh, a province of 4 million people with a long history of resistance. They fought against Dutch colonial rule until 1910, and later against the regime of President Suharto. For much of his 31-year reign, the president’s regal powers were enough to intimidate most of Indonesia’s restive provinces, but not Aceh. In 1989, Suharto finally placed Aceh under martial law, and the brutal story of that period began to emerge only after he was forced to step down last summer....

Theater Tickled By Terror

After his first stage production, “The Beauty Queen of Leenane,” bagged four Tony awards on Broadway in 1998, McDonagh became the most frequently performed playwright in North America after Shakespeare. Getting “Inishmore” onto the stage was no easy task. Two major London theaters turned down the project because of its controversial theme. But now–six years after the script was written–it’s playing to packed houses and receiving rave reviews across Britain....

There Have Been 10 Or 11 Situations Klopp Surprised By Lack Of Penalties

Klopp’s side drew 0-0 against Stoke City at Anfield on Saturday, a late penalty appeal for a handball by Erik Pieters turned down. Liverpool have been awarded just three penalties in the Premier League this term, including only one at home. Klopp is surprised by the lack of spot-kicks awarded to his side in 2017-18, saying there had been numerous examples of potential penalties not being paid. “Look again, look at how many penalties....

The Tough Path Of Resurrection For Virtus Bologna

Fast forward nearly 20 years: the level of italian basketball lowered, both Fortitudo and Virtus went through a downward spiral and, despite the victory of a EuroChallenge cup and a third place in FIBA EuroCup, the bianconeri faced their only three years in their proud history in Italy’s second league. While Fortitudo still struggled in LegaDue, last season was the first back to the major league for Virtus, willing to regain their dominant position in the hierarchy of Serie A....

While the shot might be synonymous with the Indian captain, it was something that he learnt from his friend, who called it the “Thappad Shot”, in exchange for some samosas.

The Uncertain Future Of Movie Tie Ins

Licensed video games, particularly those based directly on movies, were one such gaming trend that stuck around for a long, long time.

The Undertaker S 5 Best Wrestlemania Matches Ranked

Not only was the streak one of the most incredible things to happen in pro wrestling, but it also featured some of the finest clashes ever. Though not all the contests were terrific, a majority of them are still worth a rewatch....

The Use Of Antidepressants For Managing Chronic Pain

The Link Between Depression and Chronic Pain It’s not uncommon for people with chronic pain diseases and conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, fibromyalgia, and neuropathic pain to experience depression. People with chronic physical problems have higher lifetime rates of major depression. In other words, pain and depression are often comorbidities (go hand in hand.) On the other side of the equation, a large number of people who are diagnosed with depression also suffer from chronic pain....

The Use Of Drs And Kers In Gp2 And Gp3

KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System) and DRS (Drag Reduction System) have been part of Formula One for a few seasons now to increase the competitiveness of the series, especially to increase the number of overtakes during races, although making the races more artificial. The DRS especially has split the opinions of people: some like the concept, while others are criticising the system a lot. In Formula One’s support series GP2 and GP3, there are no KERS and DRS in use....

The V20 Proves Vivo Is Making The Best Looking Phones Of 2020

I’ve been using the regular V20 for a few days, and while I’m not quite ready to fully review it yet, I can say that I adore the way this phone looks and feels. It starts with the size. At 7.38mm thin and just 171g (though oddly enough it is fractionally thicker and heavier if you opt for the blue-and-pink-hued Sunset Melody finish) the V20 feels lighter than you’d ever expect from a phone with a 6....

The Virtual Pet Goes Postal

Upwards of half a million Japanese share Takahashi’s unlikely passion. The runaway popularity of PostPet 2001, Sony Communications Network’s hypercute e-mail program, has been a stunning phenomenon, even in a land with Japan’s insatiable sweet tooth for virtual pets like Tamagotchi, Pokemon and Aibo the robot dog. Since the debut of PostPet’s first version in late 1997, the program has sold some 580,000 copies in separately packaged form. An additional million or so copies have been sold in “bundled” form, preinstalled on the hard drives of new computers....

The Voice Of Ventura

Gov. Ventura: Because it’s very clear that the American public wants more candidates and they’re being shut out. When you look at voting, with under 50 percent nationally, the trend is not going up, it’s going down. It’s kind of embarrassing that less than half of us even vote, and yet my Lieutenant-Governor just returned from Croatia, and they had a 94.7 percent voter turnout. The first question I asked her was: How many parties did they have and how many candidates were involved in the election?...

The Voices Of Dissent

Since September 11, political dissent has seemed a decadent luxury, rather than a democratic necessity. The new united-we-stand orthodoxy holds that we’re all engaged in a war of unquestionable good against inexplicable evil–that, in fact, the attempt to understand the enemy’s perception of us is disloyal–and that bombing Afghanistan, approved by 90 percent of Americans, is both morally and practically justified. These assumptions are worth questioning, if only for prudential reasons....
