Five years ago, he never would have said it could be a good year without winning any tournament. This year is an exception. Woods closed with a 64 on Sunday at Bellerive, his lowest final round in a major. He finished at 266, breaking by three shots his personal best over 72 holes in a major. Neither was enough to win the PGA Championship. His last major was 10 years ago....
Even before the pandemic, health care was a stressful industry. According to a Medscape survey (registration required) from 2018, for example, 42% of more than 15,000 physicians surveyed reported feeling burned out. But stress within health care has taken on an entirely new dimension during the COVID-19 pandemic due to: • The physical and mental strain of adhering to biosecurity measures, including having to endure physical isolation on- and off-shift, wearing heavy protective gear and following strict infection control procedures...
Clubs spend thousands producing videos for social media to unveil their newest acquisitions, all trying to outdo each other with clever or humorous videos, all trying to replicate the genius marketing phenomenon that is ‘Come to Besiktas’. This simple phrase became the most popular slogan in the football world last summer when Ricardo Quaresma invited Portugal team-mate Pepe to join him in the Turkish Super Lig. The duo were recorded on mobile phones having a conversation where Quaresma urges Pepe to leave Real Madrid and “come to Besiktas” in what appears to be a very amateurish video, but is instead a cleverly crafted marketing endeavour....
The British-Irish comedian, 49, made the quip during his latest program on the streaming platform, His Dark Material. The special is one of a number of shows that Carr has released in conjunction with Netflix. Despite being available on the platform since this past Christmas, the disparaging comment only received backlash following a clip of the joke being posted to social media on Thursday. The controversy emerged following a joke made by Carr about what he called a “positive” of the Holocaust: That so many Roma and Sinti people—sometimes called gypsies, which is considered a slur—were murdered by the Nazis....

Command and Conquer Rivals is an upcoming mobile 1v1 multiplayer RTS title that aims at providing players with “quick and competitive” gameplay experiences (which EA did try to emphasize by displaying a live game on stage involving eSports stars Geoff “InControl” Robinson and NickAtNyte and complete with shoutcasters.) The title’s announcement was accompanied by a full-length gameplay trailer that goes into great detail explaining the game’s features. The trailer also revealed that the game will feature some of the series’ most famous factions and characters, including the GDI, the Brotherhood of Nod, and Kane....

Sunil found the back of the net off a rebound after the Wakes custodian had parried away Rupinderpal Singh’s dragflick. Unlike the drawn game against Pakistan, the Indian defence held their nerves during the final minute to log home full points. The other scorers for India were Dilpreet Singh (16th), Mandeep Singh (28th), Harmanpreet Singh (57th). For Wales, Gareth Furlong scored a hat-trick to snatch India’s lead on three occasions (17’, 45’ and 58’), converting three out of the four penalty corners that Wales earned thus keeping his team’s hopes alive for the better part of the match....
The set has proved to be incredibly popular, but perhaps too popular, as there have been so many reports of people hoarding the McDonald’s cards to resell them online at a high markup that the fast-food giant has had to release a statement encouraging its franchises to set a limit on how many Pokemon Happy Meals a customer can buy. RELATED: McDonald’s Issues Official Statement on Pokemon TCG Happy Meal Scalping...
However, there are quite a few differences between the Netflix series, the games, and the books. This is because the live-action series and the games are all slightly different interpretations of the original books. They all have their merits, fitting incredibly rich source material into their respective mediums for the best impact possible. With so many small changes between each representation of Geralt and the world of The Witcher, some may wonder which representation is the closest to the original intention....
Assault Rifles are great for mid- to long-range engagements, and players often select one for their primary slot. While many Call of Duty: Warzone assault rifle loadouts prioritize recoil control, others lean toward maximizing bullet velocity and damage. The XM4 falls into the latter group as it gives reliable damage with good control for sustained firing at targets. RELATED: Call of Duty: Warzone Groza Assault Rifle Loadout The XM4 from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a popular choice in Call of Duty: Warzone....
Both Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare are well in the stride of Season 3, despite various issues incurred by the latest update. Fixes are incoming, but even some slow matchmaking times are not preventing players from hopping online to grind out tiers in the battle pass before the season is over. Battle royale is one of the best ways to gain battle pass progress, and performing well is the key to reaching the highest tiers quickly....

Also, Shane McMahon mentioned that he will be taking an indefinite leave of absence. This makes Bryan is the only policymaker on Tuesday nights.

It’s understandable why Sonic the Hedgehog loyalists would be eager to see Sonic Frontiers in action after so long without any idea as to what it would include. Sega has managed to make this game stand out in various ways, such as publicly saying it was held back for quality assurance, as well as openly stating that it is seeking high review scores. Now, players have just enough gameplay footage to know what the future of the blue blur looks like....
The days will feature seminars on life and politics in the electronic age. “Networking for the Masses” promises a political philosophy that might have come from Karl Marx had he worked weekends at a Radio Shack. Other seminars, “Phreaking the Phone” or “Zen and the Art of Lockpicking,” hint at the underbelly of the hacking culture. Still, if these conventioneers can overcome fears of viruses both computer–and bloodborne, they may have something to rival the original....
I felt that way last week reading about the emergence of an unexpected new merger of biology and engineering: DNA computers. Scientists have discovered a way to take pieces of DNA-the stuff of life, genetic material found in the cells of every living creature-and use them as,“molecular computers” that have the potential to dwarf the powers of the mightiest supercomputers. One expert guesses that a system using a jug’s worth of DNA goop can crunch more arithmetic than all the conventional computers on planet earth....
The opening week of the 2018 calendar saw Wozniacki continue where she left off last year as she reached the final of the WTA International event, dropping one set in the process. However, she was unable to cap an impressive week with a trophy, Goerges claiming a 6-4 7-6 (7-4) victory. Despite that disappointment Wozniacki – who won the WTA Finals in Singapore in October – was happy with her build-up to the year’s first grand slam and is targeting silverware....

We have intriguing matchups heading into the final week. Utah is our pick to take the final College Football Playoff spot, facing Ohio State in the Peach Bowl. LSU and Clemson are in the other semifinal at the Fiesta Bowl. That said, Georgia, Oklahoma and even Baylor remain in the hunt heading into this final week, but for now we have those teams in the New Year’s Day 6....
In 2021, there were 28 coaching changes in the FBS. There were 18 changes in the COVID-19 impacted 2020 season. Our guess is this year’s number will be somewhere in between 18 and 28, but given the early September firings, that’s an educated guess. There have been 23 coaching changes in the FBS to date. Mississippi State also hired Zach Arnett after Mike Leach unexpectedly passed away on Dec. 12....
