Based on the popular tabletop game Warhammer 40,000, the live-action franchise has been in talks for several years and is finally coming to fruition. News of a Warhammer 40,000 series broke recently, and while fans were celebrating, they didn’t realize there was more in store. Cavill shared news of the universe on social media the next morning, which sent his fans into a total frenzy.

Conor McGregor and Henry Cejudo are two of just four double champs in UFC history. Cejudo recently answered questions during an Ask C Anything Q&A on his YouTube channel. He discussed McGregor’s lack of testing, stating: Cejudo’s comments will certainly add to speculation by fans that McGregor is using both steroids and cocaine. McGregor’s team and the UFC declined to comment on the Irishman not being tested. USADA’s statement seemed to pass the blame onto the promotion, noting that they can grant testing exemptions to fighters....

Types of Hepatitis B Of the adults who get the Hepatitis B virus, 95% clear the virus and do not go on to have the chronic form of the disease. Some people have few symptoms or none at all, so many do not realize they have HBV or that they have had it. Many adults will clear the virus completely within six months. The good news is that the protective antibodies produced while fighting the infection mean that people who have had it will never have to worry about HBV again—they will be immune....

She probably played only a minor role in last week’s government shake-up. According to her friends, Dyachenko shared her father’s view that the prime minister, Viktor Chernomyrdin, was becoming entirely too presidential. Tatyana doesn’t shrink from high-level firings. The turning point of the 1996 presidential campaign came when she helped persuade her father to sack several Kremlin hard-liners, including his unpopular chief bodyguard and drinking buddy, Aleksandr Korzhakov, who reportedly wanted Yeltsin to cancel the election....

So there really are two Fiona Shaws. One is the superb classical actress who over the last decade has given acclaimed performances in Sophocles “Electra,” Brecht’s “The Good Person of Sichuan,” Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” and many Shakespearean plays, winning three Olivier Awards (England’s Tonys) in the process. The other Shaw is the daredevil who’s calmly stated that “I want to change the face of the British theater.” Actually, you can throw in a third Shaw, the one who’s appeared in an oddball array of movies including “My Left Foot,” “Mountains of the Moon,” “Three Men and a Little Lady,” “Persuasion” and “Super Mario Brothers” (during which she organized Shakespeare readings for the cast at her rented beach house)....

But all of the proposals that the Democratic-led committee plans to debate—background checks, “red flag” laws and a ban on high-capacity magazines—will need bipartisan support to even be considered, much less passed, by the GOP-controlled Senate. In addition to examining several potential policies, the committee said it will hold a hearing September 25 to “address the dangers posed by assault weapons.” “There is more that we can and must do to address the gun violence epidemic....

There are many factors that play into a game’s length, like the balance of main and optional content, the ratio of gameplay to cutscenes, and how many collectibles there are, as some examples. For these reasons, it can be hard to exactly pinpoint just how many hours it takes to beat a game, as players have different preferences. A large game like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt may not take as long for some people because they prioritize the story, while other players may go after every side mission and secret to be found....

The latest salvo in the push to move or delay the 2022 games slated for Beijing comes from an American congressional committee set up to observe China’s human-rights practices. Committee officials say that relocation would serve as a sanction for the country’s alleged forced labor practices that have been increasingly tied to America’s growing solar power industry, and to products and materials used in sneakers, mobile phones, TVs and other consumer products....

Critics have seized on the White House’s early reluctance to invoke the full measure of the law’s authorities, which range from providing financial incentives to overriding and directing operations at private businesses. In response to a question about more aggressively employing the DPA to compel production of personal protective equipment (such as face masks, gowns and gloves) in short supply, President Donald Trump initially objected, saying in late March that “we’re a country not based on nationalizing our business....

While Big Brother has been known for casting diverse contestants in the past—even though the previous few seasons have been slammed by fans for casting choices—there are a few requirements that all applicants must meet. The application, which can be found here, states a few non-negotiables. First, the requirements outline that the potential candidate must be willing to travel to and from Los Angeles for the casting process. This travel must be funded by the applicant....

From now until August 28, consumers can trade in their pre-owned consoles toward a new Xbox One X system. Trading in a PS4 Pro will knock $300 off the price of an Xbox One X, and while that’s the best deal, players can still put a serious dent in the price tag by trading in other systems as well. For example, anyone looking to upgrade from their Xbox One S to an Xbox One X can knock $250 off the price (effectively making the Xbox One X just $250 instead of $500), and the same goes if someone trades in a regular PS4 or a Nintendo Switch....

While gamers debate over which to put on their sheff — Xbox Series X or the PlayStation 5 — for most, it’s almost always about the games over the hardware. While there will be updates and upgrades made to the user interface, tech and more for both consoles, it comes down to what disc you’re slipping in or downloading to the hard drive. As is custom with new-gen releases, there’s not a whole lot new or original with both consoles dropping this week....

The league has tried to shut down handshakes and spitting in order to curb the spread of COVID-19. Wrestling, then, is a big no-no. So, it was obvious Laureano would get a substantial suspension for rushing the Astros on Sunday after being hit by a pitch and taunted by Houston hitting coach Alex Cintron (who got a 20-game punishment for his role). What surprised many fans is that Laureano’s ban was six games — shorter than that of Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly, who threw behind and over the head of Astros hitters earlier this year but did not get physical with them....

A recording of the speech, delivered on the basketball player’s final day of filming back in summer 2019, was recently published by TMZ Sunday. In his closing words, James shared his gratitude, talked about his childhood, explained how much the role meant to him and recalled the large impression that the 1996 original Space Jam film—which teamed up Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny—left on his life. “I’m gonna be completely honest with you guys—when I found out about the project, I was like, ‘It’s Space Jam!...

Harmonix also said that the entire back catalogue of Rock Band songs will be compatible with the new title, meaning that the money that fans spent on 2500 or so pieces of Rock Band DLC won’t go to waste. Additionally, older Rock Band instruments will work on the PS4 and Xbox One with an adapter. That’s handy, because Harmonix expects that the new Rock Band 4 instruments may be in short supply at launch....

Each time a loot cave is patched by Bungie, players raise their voices about the developer’s focus on removing exploits rather than fixing other game-breaking issues in the game. When they shut down the first loot cave, Bungie claimed they were closing it because they hadn’t designed Destiny for players to just shoot into a cave. Well, it looks like there were other reasons for the closure as well....

For those that don’t know, EB Games was once a branch of GameStop, as GameStop acquired the company in 2004. Since then, most EB Games stores have been phased out in favor of GameStop’s branding, but there are still some storefronts going by the old name. The reason the term is trending on Twitter has to do with a particular viral tweet. RELATED: EB Games to Issue Refund for Fallout 76 Players in Australia...

The research, which was published in the journal Parasites & Vectors, featured two studies. In the first, the houseflies were tested for SARS-CoV-2 after they were exposed to milk infected with the virus. The second study analyzed samples that were tested for the virus after they came into contact with flies that had been exposed to SARS-CoV-2. As part of the study, the researchers swabbed the inside of containers holding the flies to see if they contained viral RNA (the virus’s genetic material) and infectious virus....

Heroscape’s main draw was its customizable hexagonal boards. Sets came with sheets of plastic hexagonal tiles which could be snapped together and stacked to form custom battlegrounds. It also featured a mish-mash of heroes of various fantastical backgrounds joined together in loose alliances, all of whom fulfill differing combat roles and add quite a bit of variety to the game. In a sense, Heroscape somewhat emulated more involved games such as Warhammer 40K and its many factions and locations....
