Up until recently, it was believed that Season 5 would launch on May 5, as both the timer for Season 4’s battle pass and the current split of ranked play are both slated to end on that day. Yet in a post on the official Apex Legends website, the game’s design director Jason McCord confirmed that while May 5 may have originally been the targeted launch date, it isn’t anymore....
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia’s Olympic chief John Coates has backed calls for an A$50 million ($37.35 million) lottery to boost funding for sport and keep the country competitive in the face of rising spending by their rivals. Sports-mad Australia has traditionally punched above its weight at the Olympics but 10th place on the medals’ table in Rio earlier this year continued a decline from fourth in Sydney in 2000 and Athens four years later....
Ocasio-Cortez’s comment via Twitter included a video and a quote from Yahoo News reporter Hunter Walker which said, “One of the big stories in Florida has been Joe Biden’s underperformance with Latino voters. Progressive allies of Biden were raising alarms about this over the summer… He has really struggled on that front.” In the Yahoo News video, Walker noted the Biden campaign had done some Latino outreach during the campaign, but that the Latino vote could be decisive in whether the key battleground state goes for Biden or for Republican President Donald Trump....
The New York congresswoman responded to a report saying billionaires in the U.S. saw their wealth rise by $432 billion between March 18 and May 21, an increase of 15 percent. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg saw his wealth rise by $25.3 billion during the same period, with former Microsoft CEO Steve Balmer seeing his jump by $12.8 billion. During the same time period, 38.6 million Americans signed for unemployment as businesses were forced to close during the outbreak....
AOC G2460VQ6 review: Build quality and Design The G2460VQ6 is limited by its stand: you can only tilt it forwards by 5 degrees and backwards by 20 degrees. Despite said stand having a thick frame, we found it was quite wobbly, but thankfully the monitor can be mounted on a VESA 100x100mm stand. On the plus side, we really liked the design, which fit well with AMD’s red colour coding. On the right-hand side you’ll find the buttons to control the monitor, which have quick-access to the monitor’s input, volume, menu and the ability to cycle through the pre-configured game modes....
Between The Esports Club LG Series and the NODWIN Gaming Agni Series, the battle between the participating teams is indeed heating up. And AORUS is here to add more excitement to the proceedings of the Indian Valorant tournaments by introducing the Allstars event, in partnership with Intel. Two teams comprising of the top Valorant players in the nation (randomly put together by the looks of it), will be going head-to-head from 24th September....
It’s a unique situation for the annual poll, which is in its 85th year. The AP Poll made the decision for its voters to consider all teams for its preseason poll. There are 54 teams that will not play in the 2020 college football season. Once the season begins, only the 76 FBS schools that are participating in the season will be considered.

The Wildcats (6-4) were No. 24 in the Top 25 after beating Iowa to clinch the Big Ten West with two games to play. The rest of the Top 25 was fairly stable, especially at the top where the only difference in the first 11 teams from last week was No. 8 Washington State moving past No. 9 Ohio State and No. 10 LSU. Alabama is a unanimous No. 1, followed by Clemson, Notre Dame, Michigan and Georgia....
Gameplay-wise, Fuse is classified as an offensive Legend alongside characters like Wraith, Horizon, and Octane. He may not have the mobility of those aforementioned Legends, but his abilities are some of the few in Apex Legends that can do direct damage to enemies. While Fuse’s kit may seem built for wanton destruction, it also makes the character a fine defense character. RELATED: Apex Legends Is Raising the Level Cap in Season 14...
It has been two full seasons since Ash was introduced in Apex Legends. Initially appearing in the Broken Ghost questline, players perform several missions to gather pieces of Ash’s head before rejoining it with her body at the quest’s finale. Her inclusion in these series of quests spawned rumors of her arrival as a playable Legend in Season 6, but Season 6 came and went, as did Season 7, and still no Ash as a playable character....
Apex Legends players form their squads using the roster of slegends sporting unique abilities to utilize in order to bring home that elusive win. The game is currently in its eighth season of content, dubbed Mayhem, as players battle across the Kings Canyon map with access to the newest legend, Fuse.

Namely, the biggest change he makes is the addition of a “runner” classification. Mobility has always been the name of the game, and as a result, a lot of Apex Legends characters are focused on getting somewhere, somehow, differently from other legends. This new classification includes characters like Wraith, Pathfinder, Octane, and Horizon, all of which make sense. Although she’s the newest character, Horizon feels a similar niche in the game, one that others do but not one that necessarily makes a great “assault” character....
One of the most exciting changes in the game came in September of 2019 when Respawn revealed that the game would be altered with a brand new location to fight, that being the addition of World’s Edge with Season 3: Meltdown. Another map would be equally exciting for Season 5. RELATED: Apex Legends: 10 Tips And Tricks On Using Shotguns Respawn instantly set the expectation that new maps would be a part of Apex Legends moving forward, and fans have taken notice....
There are some analysts who believe this move by Apple to be a defeat for the firm. Apple had earlier disturbed the CD industry, when the company started selling single songs on its iTunes for $0.99. In the same way, it is believed that the Calif.-based firm is now trying to unbundle the cable and disrupt the TV space the same manner. Seeing previous records, it is believed that Apple now plans to just repack the old cable and sell it through its own device....
As outlined in a post on the Developer blog, users can upload their status onto the Health app and use that information to generate a vaccination card in the Apple Wallet app. The Apple Wallet vaccination card can be shown to businesses that require a person’s vaccination status, like airlines and event venues. The cards are based on SMART Health Cards, which show clinical information used by several states and businesses....
Still, there were some real reasons to cheer at Sundance 2000. For one, the general level of competence was higher than it has been in years, though there was no breakout sensation like “Reservoir Dogs.” For another, the invading armies of Hollywood agents, hustlers and wanna-be filmmakers are no longer wearing their baseball caps backward. The shared Grand Jury Prize for best feature film actually went to the two best films in competition....
Earlier this month when the program ended, an estimated 7.5 million unemployed workers lost these benefits, which included pandemic unemployment insurance that these individuals would otherwise not qualify for and pandemic unemployment compensation in the form of a $300 weekly check. Benefits have been extended three times over the course of the pandemic with the last extension occurring last March. Through these programs, the federal government has distributed over $800 billion to families across the country....
Posting on social media, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) questioned why Manchin (D-WV) was reportedly hesitant to confirm the first Native American cabinet secretary, four years after he voted to confirm Jeff Sessions’ appointment as attorney general under former President Donald Trump. “Jeff Sessions was so openly racist that even Reagan couldn’t appoint him. Manchin voted to confirm him,” the congresswoman tweeted. “Sessions then targeted immigrant children for wide-scale human rights abuses [with] family separation....
Villanova remains No. 1 for the fourth consecutive week in the poll that was released Monday. The rest of the top five also is unchanged. MORE: Coach K defends Grayson Allen The biggest movement came courtesy of Louisville’s 73-70 win over Kentucky, which vaulted the Cardinals from 10th to No. 6 and dropped the Wildcats from sixth to No. 8. An intrastate rivalry was also responsible for the one change among the 25 ranked teams, as No....
