[HTML1] Crysis 2 may have come and gone, but that doesn’t mean the stunning visuals and Nanosuit powers won’t be making a return to PC and consoles soon. With Crysis 3 fast approaching, EA and Crytek have teamed up with director Albert Hughes (Menace II Society, Book of Eli) to produce a cinematic web series befitting a hero as iconic as Prophet (Alcatraz?…Proph-catraz?).

Attorneys announced Monday the agreement would call for Century Indemnity Co. and its affiliates to pay $800 million in exchange for facing no further liability for the thousands of abuse claims the BSA is currently reckoning with.

Trump has sought to discredit reporting on the whistleblower complaint. “Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself.

Klopp takes his team to the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday looking to defend a 3-0 lead from the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final. City’s loss at Anfield was followed up by the failue to secure the Premier League title against rivals United, with Guardiola’s team throwing away a 2-0 half-time lead to eventually go down 3-2. Despite those recent results Guardiola’s team still have an enviable defensive record, and Klopp does not believe their form at the back will have any bearing on their upcoming clash, instead focusing on his own keeping their hosts from mounting their own comeback....

In cricket, more than in any other team sport, the captain plays a significant role. The onus of all the field placements, bowling changes and behaviour of the players solely rest on his/her shoulder. The shorter the format, the more difficult it is for the captain to make plans, ascertain his thoughts and execute them. The field restriction rules amplify his problems further, and one can see a helpless leader in the T20 format hoping for divine blessings at most times....

Jackpots that both began building in August and September both had their grand prizes hit in the first three days of Biden’s term. A $730 million Powerball prize hit in nearby Maryland not even 12 hours after Biden took his oath as the 46th President of the United States. Two days later, a ticket was sold in Michigan that won the $1 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That prize was the second-highest jackpot ever in that game, and only the third jackpot in America to ever hit $1 billion....

President Joe Biden’s $1.9 trillion package includes a plan to gradually increase the federal minimum wage, starting with an increase to $9.50 in 2021. States are required to meet the federal minimums, meaning its passage would bring the entire country to $15 in 2025, but employees across five states could reach the threshold sooner. Eight states and the District of Columbia have passed $15 minimum wage plans of their own....
