There are some fans who will create realistic cities in Minecraft, while others will construct some elaborate redstone contraptions that border on genius. It’s one of the reasons that millions are still playing the game after well over a decade. Its longevity largely comes from the community that continues to showcase some incredible projects, and there are times when players will create something that the original studio maybe didn’t think about....
I spent five years in the San Francisco Bay Area getting my undergraduate degrees in applied math and physics from UC-Berkeley. To see my campus threatened by the fires is heartbreaking. I can’t even imagine how bad it is for those who have spent their entire lives, not just a beloved portion of it, in the East Bay. My thoughts are with those struggling to survive this fire, and are choking through the clouds of smoke it casts across the state....
Nketiah’s major concern was his lack of playing time at the Emirates and rightly so. Despite the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the young striker has sparingly started games. However, he was eventually unleashed by Mikel Arteta during Wednesday’s Premier League game against Chelsea and took his chance by scoring twice. Eddie Nketiah destroys Blues When a player talks big, the pressure immediately mounts on him to follow up with a big performance and that is exactly what Nketiah did....
The former U.S. men’s national team star made his first appearance as a USMNT analyst for CBS Sports’ coverage of the CONCACAF Nations League semifinal in Denver. And he was doing it his way. He did his analysis in sunglasses at one point and he would later claim he needed the shades to see into the future and make predictions. And the fans ate it up: Oh, and you’ll notice that unlike his broadcast colleagues Charlie Davies and Oguchi Onyewu, there was no tie on Deuce either:...
Twenty-six points, on 10-of-23 shooting; six assists; six rebounds; and 5-of-10 shooting from the free throw line. He also scored his team’s last six points, all within the last minute, to help the Clippers to a 103-102 lead with just 8.2 seconds remaining. The only stats that ultimately mattered in the Clippers’ 104-103 loss, however, were the final two free throws George — a career 84.7-percent free throw shooter — missed....
James was long rumoured to want to play for the Lakers. It was reported in 2017 that James to Los Angeles was a done deal. “All due respect to the Lakers, who handled everything well, but as these things go, LeBron was not a tough free-agent signing,” West told Sports Illustrated. “LeBron wanted to come to LA and he wanted to come to the Lakers. Period.” Many assumed James would go to Los Angeles, and West saw little of the Lakers’ influence on the move....
George combined with Kawhi Leonard for 30 points but Montrezl Harrell (23 points), Lou Williams (22) and JaMychal Green (12 points and 12 rebounds) also did serious damage from the bench. Having gone back to the locker room with just under four minutes remaining in the second quarter, George was ruled out during the third as the Clippers stretched their lead. Rodney McGruder started the second half in place of George, who rounded out his work with 12 points in 16 minutes....
The Pentagon’s effort to control coverage was based on the infamous use of pools, in which small groups of reporters were taken into the field under the constant eye of military public-affairs officers. From beginning to end, this was one of the last places to find a good story. In the blame game, the real culprits are news executives who agreed to the silly rules long before the war. If they had threatened not to participate, the restrictions might well have been loosened....
American esports organization Cloud9 has terminated the contracts of players Johnny “JT” Theodosiou, Ian “motm” Hardy, Aran “Sonic” Groesbeek, and coach Tiaan “T.c” Coertzen over breaching COVID-19 safety clauses.

This policy was violated twice, with the first time leading to written and verbal warnings and the second time now leading to termination....
Why the hard stance? The level of competitiveness has gone up manifold in the I-League as well as the ISL with clubs seeking a return on their investments which naturally prevents them from releasing players for the long conditioning camps planned by Stephen Constantine.

Clyne played in the Under-23 team’s 3-1 loss to Middlesbrough last week, having missed the whole of the 2017-18 season to date with a back problem.
