Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Solo: A Star Wars Story are stand-alone tales, while the others are a trilogy that takes place thirty years after the fall of the Intergalactic Empire. The original trilogy has been met with lukewarm reactions from fans and critics, at best. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story in particular has been applauded for its use of introducing shades of gray into the black-and-white, dark-side-vs-light-side aspect of Star Wars lore....

And though Oblivion is over 15 years old now, Leyawiin’s underlying message is still very much relevant. RELATED: Skyrim’s Dragonborn Don’t Tend to Have Happy Endings The State of Leyawiin in the Third Era The town of Leyawiin is found to the south of the map of Oblivion....

Djokovic has regained his top form in the last few months and seems to be a man on a mission. He has won 25 out of his last 27 matches, since claiming the Wimbledon title in June. The Serb entered Australia on the back of a runner-up finish at the Paris Masters and a title-winning run at the ATP Finals in Turin. He continued his purple patch by capturing the Adelaide International 1, outclassing Sebastian Korda in the final....

Writing for the Herald Sun, the recently retired Australian minced no words in deriding the actions of Novak Djokovic at the Adria Tour. Groth said that in the aftermath of the now infamous exhibition tournament, Novak Djokovic’s position as the president of the ATP Player Council is untenable.

The wasn’t allowed to play the US Open and the tournaments preceding the New York Major, the Canadian Open and the Cincinnati Masters, owing to his unvaccinated status. Serbian journalist Sasa Ozmo confirmed Djokovic’s participation in the Tel Aviv event. The ATP-250 tournament was previously held from 1978 to 1991 and again from 1983 to 1996. It has witnessed some illustrious winners over the years, like Jimmy Connors who lifted the title in 1989....

The books know what bets are coming and even if they get clipped off by sharps playing the cheap money-line favorite, that action still doesn‘t compare with all the $20, $50 and $100 wagers that compile up into one giant risk on the dog. Many of the bettors coming to windows with their $100 don’t understand the point spread, but do want to maximize their dollar. Here’s a how a conversation usually goes down at this time of year between the ticket writer and novice bettor:...

Seven years ago Fahima’s husband dissolved their marriage by saying “I divorce you” three times–and then threw her out of their house in the Panjshir Valley. That is a legally binding form of divorce under Sharia, or Islamic law. Fahima, then 15, was left with little financial support and so moved in with her uncle. Two years ago he arranged a second marriage in Kandahar, a union that entitled him to a sizable dowry....

With one click, users can call up a voter registration form–robbing the lazy of the usual complaint that registering is too big a hassle, and eliminating the problem of sloppy handwriting that disqualifies many potential voters. The form can then be printed out, signed and mailed in. Berman says that about 68 percent of people who print out the form follow through and get themselves registered. Facebook users can also use the site to update their address with voting officials if they move....

Castlevania hasn’t received a new entry in eight years since the release of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow in 2014. That game is a 3D action/adventure experience, so players will have to go back even further to find the last 2D, side-scrolling game from the IP. It’s puzzling that the franchise is still absent from the video game space, and in 2022 there are plenty of wheels in motion to ensure that the landscape is ready for more of the Belmont clan and Dracula....

“Rabbit-Proof Fence” confronts an infamous piece of Australian history: the government-sanctioned abduction of half and quarter-caste Aborigine children from their mothers by order of A. O. Neville (Kenneth Branagh), chief protector of Aborigines. Neville believed he was doing the children and their culture a favor; in fact, it was genocide by assimilation. (The policy didn’t end until 1971.) Noyce’s heroine, Molly (Everlyn Sampi), is based on an actual 14-year-old, who with her sister and cousin was removed to a settlement to be trained as a servant....

The plane hurtled 950 feet (290 meters) past the end of the runway, tore through a chain-link fence and crossed a paved road before stopping. The captain’s last-second decision to abort the takeoff in the 2016 incident might have prevented a disaster, safety officials said Thursday. “These two pilots did everything right after things started to go very wrong,” said Robert Sumwalt, the chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board....

A number-lock key replaces the functions of certain keys on the keyboard with a numeric keypad. Some computers automatically turn on number lock during startup, but you’ll have to enable the feature manually on most compact keyboards.

How It Can Feel Most people have experienced the sensation of an extremity “falling asleep.” The sensation is similar in MS, except that it’s chronic, it can last much longer, and it may occur in other places besides your arms, legs, hands, and feet. Most commonly referred to as “numbness” or “tingling,” these are two of the most frequent MS symptoms for which people seek help. They’re part of a group of sensory symptoms called paresthesias, abnormal sensations that cause discomfort but not pain....

Some doctors and nurses at one hospital in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho have been accused by family members of killing their loved ones who have succumbed to the virus, according to hospital spokeswoman Caiti Bobbit. She said that other people angered by the COVID-19 pandemic spread hurtful rumors about medical workers at the hospital. “Our health care workers are almost feeling like Vietnam veterans, scared to go into the community after a shift,” Bobbitt said....

According to a recent report, the prices for Nvidia and AMD products have begun to drop. At least in Europe, The report goes on to say that the cost of GPUs has reduced by up to 50% and that there is now evidence to suggest availability in on the up-and-up with sales of graphics cards increasing each month.

According to a recent report, it won’t be possible for the Steam Deck to use DLSS, which may be a concern for some people. However, the reason why is quite simple. Nvidia’s technology requires one of its own graphics cards, specifically one from the RTX range, such as the RTX 3070 Ti for example. Given that the Deck uses an AMD product under the hood, it won’t be compatible with the rival upscaling algorithm....

Adam Cole escaped with his title once again, albeit under his own power. He did not get any help from his goons in the Undisputed Era as many thought that they would get involved at some point during the match. Another strange moment was that the Street Profits retained their titles while they have already had face time on RAW. They haven’t been active in the ring yet, but once an NXT talent is showcased on either RAW or SmackDown, it usually means that their time with the Yellow and Black brand is up....
