In the past, Worlds Collide pit the various non-main roster brands against one another in a tournament. This year, NXT and NXT UK go head-to-head in the battle for supremacy with championship implications. The Undisputed Era invaded NXT UK at the conclusion of Takeover: Blackpool 2, and now Imperium is looking for payback and to assert their dominance as the number-one faction in NXT. If you’re looking to watch the event online, here’s everything you need to know including its start time and possible streaming methods....

“Cheers, New York! We’re going to once again allow the sale of to-go drinks – a critical revenue stream during the lean times last year,’ Governor Kathy Hochul wrote in a Twitter post on Wednesday. The New York Restaurant Association said it was “thrilled” about Hochul’s announcement. “These are difficult times that are not letting up,” Melissa Fleischut, president and CEO of the New York State Restaurant Association, said in a statement....

New York City is currently the world’s largest hotspot, and the state of New York holds about 40 percent of the nation’s COVID-19 cases, with that population spreading the virus. “A lot of the states that are infected, but don’t have a big problem, they’ve asked me if I’ll look at it so we’re going to look at it,” Trump said Saturday while getting ready to send the United States Navy Hospital Ship Comfort from Norfolk Navy Base to New York City....

“Mandates work. They help keep people safe,” de Blasio told CNN’s New Day on Wednesday. “We put mandates in place about two months ago for public employees, for indoor dining and a variety of things, and since then we have seen a 45 percent increase in vaccinations—1.3 million more doses because we have mandates.” New York City’s vaccine mandate for health care workers went into full effect on Monday and the effort to get more shots into arms seems to have worked....

The disruption on August 29 brought more than 80 trains to a halt, leaving confused passengers trapped in tunnels. Independent investigators looking into the incident concluded there was a “strong possibility” that the emergency button was activated by accident because its plastic cover was missing. Independent reports released by New York Governor Kathy Hochul provided that accidental activation was likely the culprit for the unprecedented shutdown. Since the incident, the Metropolitan Transit Authority has been slammed with flooding from Hurricane Ida, whose remnants are still posing challenges for the transit system....

The advisory, “Inclusive Language Tips,” was sent via email to more than 100,000 licensed drivers in the city, according to CNN. On Thursday, Newsday reporter Matthew Chayes shared a screenshot of the pronoun guidance on his Twitter account. The message opened by framing its content not as a proclamation of a new rule, but rather as a list of “tips” that drivers should take to heart in order to make their trips with their passengers “more inclusive....

NZXT Signal is the company’s new capture card brand that comes in two different models. There is a 4K30 capture card that will meet the needs of most high-end content creators, and an HD60 model for the entry-level user. Both are exceptionally well-made, minimalist devices that don’t leave a large footprint and work exactly as advertised. The design of the NZXT Signal is simple, not unlike most of the devices and components that the company has created over the years....

The free agent guard, who spent the last three seasons with the Bucks, must have tested positive for a “drug of abuse,” according to the NBA’s Anti-Drug Policy. Those drugs are listed as “amphetamine and its analogs (including, but not limited to, methamphetamine and MDMA), cocaine, LSD, opiates (heroin, codeine and morphine), and PCP.” MORE: NBA exec breaks down 15 scariest free agents No other form of drug use warrants a player being kicked out of the league as a first penalty:...

Just before Trump praised OANN, he tweeted about a Fox News poll stating, “From the day I announced I was running for President, I have NEVER had a good @FoxNews Poll. Whoever their Pollster is, they suck…” He went on to lambast Fox analyst Andrew Napolitano and contributor Donna Brazile. A June 17 tweet from Trump similarly read “@FoxNews Polls are always bad for me. They were against Crooked Hillary also....

In last month’s midterm, neither candidate reached the 50 percent of votes needed to win, which is the threshold dictated by Georgia law. Now some voters head back out to the polls on Tuesday, with others showing up in record numbers during early voting. Obama also campaigned for Warnock, who seeks a second term, prior to the general Election Day, and told supporters Thursday that he had previously “made clear my thoughts on Mr....

Fans of the Star Wars franchise have had their finger crossed for over a decade, hoping that Ewan McGregor would one day return to reprise his iconic role as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The series, titled Obi-Wan Kenobi, is set to have six episodes and will follow the legendary Jedi Master, who is skilled in the ways of the force and also known for training Anakin Skywalker (played by Hayden Christensen). The series is set 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and follows Obi-Wan Kenobi on a dangerous mission, where he discovers a heartbreaking truth....

The climactic showdown between the two former Jedi was as action-packed as it was emotional, boasting both stylish fight choreography and some truly masterful acting from Ewan MacGregor and Hayden Christensen. However, hardcore Star Wars fans may have noticed that this fateful duel shares quite a few similarities with another master-apprentice battle from a different series. The encounter in question is from the Star Wars Rebels episode “Twilight of the Apprentice”, in which Darth Vader faces off against his former Padawan, Ahsoka Tano....

After his straight-sets victory over Dennis Novak in Innsbruck, the World No. 1 received a special gift from SPURart, an Austrian sporting brand that builds customized skis and snowboards. The gift was a pair of skis with a tennis racquet printed on top along with the logo of one of his sponsors, HEAD. During the post-match press conference, Djokovic thanked SPURart for the present. The World No. 1 explained why skiing is so close to his heart, recalling the time he spent as a child skiing in the mountains of Serbia....

The Argentine already had missed six matches because of suspension this campaign for spitting at Pachuca winger Hirving Lozano, meaning he’ll be out for 13 of 17 regular season matches this tournament. In the March 22 friendly, Novaretti took issue with a penalty awarded when the ball appeared to hit the arm of a sliding Andres Andrade. “He made a mistake, but they’ve said a lot of things that I can’t understand, a bunch of false things that didn’t happen,” Leon coach Javier Torrente said before the suspension was handed down....

But nothing could spare the hostage families from another week of ups and downs. First the Lebanese kidnappers released British journalist John McCarthy,34,who was seized in Beirut more than five years ago. They sent a letter with him, evidently proposing a solution to the hostage problem. There were rumors that another prisoner would be freed soon-probably an American, perhaps even Terry Anderson, the Associated Press bureau chief who has been held the longest of all the captives....

Isn’t it interesting to know how many calories are going into your belly? All you have to do is to simply click a picture of your food and use the app named ‘im2Calories’. Using the physical qualities of the food, the app would suggest the calories present in it. Although the app is still in early phase of development and Google doesn’t have any plans to introduce it soon, it seems Kevin Murphy, the research scientist of Google couldn’t hide his excitement....

In an interesting offer, Staples has put the Google Nexus 7 up for sale at a whooping price of $149 for the 16GB version and $169 for the 32GB variant. Users can avail this offer using the coupon code 20098 at the time of checkout. However, the offer excludes the sales tax. Lowest prices to hit a Nexus device, the offer surely make the tablet a good buy. The bid seems to be a move by the sellers to clear the stock before the forthcoming Nexus hits the market....

But what’s justified in principle could be botched in practice. As Alan Greenspan warns, it is better “to be right than quick.” The danger is that a stimulus package might become (along with anything labeled “antiterrorism”) a vehicle for all sorts of dubious tax giveaways or pork-barrel-spending increases. Three guidelines suggest themselves: (a) any stimulus program should be simple and noncontroversial, something the White House and Congress could enact quickly; (b) because the need for “stimulus” is temporary, it should not result in new permanent cuts in taxes or increases in spending, and (c) it should be effective in supporting the economy....

The successive revelations about waste of EU funds and occasional malpractice have clearly damaged the public image of the Commission. Most recently the Commission has been accused of misusing funds earmarked for humanitarian aid, emergency reconstruction assistance in the Balkans and other development programs. To be fair, some media reporting about waste and corruption in the European Union has been grossly exaggerated. But the Commission’s own attempts at self-defense in the face of the media onslaught have been pathetically inept....

The Oklahoma-based firm, Ackerman McQueen, told Newsweek Tuesday that it would counter allegations from Grant Stinchfield, the former host of a self-titled NRATV program, with its own “legal action” against him. Ackerman claims that Stinchfield, who served as host from 2016 until July, provided “inaccurate information under oath” in an affidavit that was filed earlier this month in the NRA’s federal lawsuit against the firm. Stinchfield claimed in the sworn statement that Ackerman irresponsibly managed the now-defunct Second Amendment streaming platform NRATV....
