Previously, there were only six emojis that were available for reacting on WhatsApp messages....

How bad is grade inflation? Think of it this way: grades seem to have risen almost as fast as tuition. National research by Arthur Levine, now president of Teachers College at Columbia University, shows that students averaging A-minus or better rose from 7 percent in 1969 to 26 percent in 1993. C performers became as rare as the old elite, falling from 25 percent to 9 percent. Inflation–and the search for a cure–seems most acute at some of America’s finest colleges and universities....

The victory over Brignone was of particular significance as it saw Shiffrin equal the win record of legendary American former skier Lindsey Caroline Vonn. Shiffrin now has the opportunity to surpass her on Friday, January 20, 2023. Shiffrin will be competing in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy, in three races over three days. On the 20th (Friday) and 21st, the American will race in the Women’s Downhill. On the 23rd, she will compete in the Super-G....

The local wildcard pairing, who had never played together prior to the tournament, will be desperately hoping to emulate the achievement of fellow Aussie stars, Nick Kyrgios and Thanasi Kokkinakis, who triumphed at last year’s Open. The Australian Open doubles featuring Rinky Hijikata and Jason Kubler will begin at the conclusion of women’s singles champion trophy presentation Rinky Hijikata and Jason Kubler advance to the Australian Open doubles final The duo defeated eighth seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-4 6-2 to advance to the decider against the Polish and French pairing....

Following six and a half seasons with the Grizzlies, Gasol was traded from Memphis to Los Angeles in 2008. A one-time All-Star at the time, Gasol joined forces with Kobe Bryant to form one of the best duos in the NBA. Together, they made three straight trips to the Finals and won two championships, besting the Magic in 2009 and the Celtics in 2010. Gasol is now set to have his jersey retired almost a decade after playing his last game with the Lakers....

This will be a first for the Uncharted franchise, so the timing has to be perfect. Releasing on the same day as the PlayStation 5 version could harm sales, and there may be work to do yet on the PC port. When can this all go down? What is the future of Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves on PC? Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves’ delayed release on PC is not a trend that will change any time soon....

The 2021 Sporting News Athlete of the Year can add another accolade to his collection, as the Angels superstar earned the nod to grace the cover of “MLB: The Show 22,” set to hit shelves a few days before the start of the 2022 MLB season. MORE: MLB offseason grades — Did Angels do enough to morph into contenders? This year, for the first time, Nintendo Switch fans can partake in the epic moonshots and righteous dingers that the series has to offer, as “The Show” comes to the Switch console, replacing the long-running “RBI Baseball” franchise....

There’s considerably less fanfare accompanying the opening of free agency this year, partly because of the impact of COVID-19. While the NFL successfully completed its regular season and playoffs as scheduled, the pandemic hit the league’s bottom line and last week the NFL set the salary cap at $182.5 million, a $16 million drop from last year. While the lower cap had long been pencilled in, it will almost certainly have an impact on how teams approach this offseason....

Muslims aim to grow spiritually and become closer to Allah and their loved ones, through fasting and abstaining from pleasures. Recent Pew Research projects almost four million Muslims live in the U.S., and many will be preparing to observe the famous fast synonymous with the festival. During April, which is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims also abstain from other habits such as gossiping, swearing and smoking, and obeying various other rules....

The Italian circuit boasts some of the best-known clubs in the history of the game, as well as some of the biggest personalities to ever kick a ball. Cristiano Ronaldo returns for his third season in the black and white stripes of Juventus, and he once again projects to be among the top goalscorers in Serie A. The ageless Zlatan Ibrahimovic racked up 10 goals in just 18 appearances for AC Milan last season, and with a full campaign ahead of him, no one would be foolish enough to count him out of the Golden Boot race....

This holds true not only in terms of on-court success but also off-court appeal and popularity. The Clippers have zero championships to their name compared to a league-leading tally of 17 for the Lakers. In fact, the Clippers made their first-ever Western Conference Finals appearance in the 2021 NBA Playoffs. NBA League Pass: Sign up to unlock live out-of-market games (7-day free trial) This shadow got darker in 1999 when both teams began playing home games in the same arena - the Staples Center - under all the championship banners of the Lakers....

The announcement came as a surprise to many, which is understandable considering how prominent the IP is. Pirates of the Caribbean is an instantly recognizable Disney franchise that players could, only in their dreams, think of arriving in Sea of Thieves. There will now be a full-fledged event with two separate parts for players to enjoy. Sea of Thieves: A Pirate’s Life will arrive in the game once the Season 3 update drops for all players....

The first nine episodes of the Freeform series aired earlier this year and saw a major shake-up in the show’s cast. The show, which is a spin-off of the family drama series The Fosters, followed sisters Callie and Mariana Adams Foster after they relocated to Los Angeles from San Diego, where the original series was set. The siblings moved into an apartment building called the Coterie, and the first three seasons saw them navigating their new life with their neighbors and friends....

It eventually forced him to miss a month of the season and the playoffs, and there was cause for concern that he might miss time at the beginning of 2023. Dr. Deepak Chona, a renowned sports surgeon, told the Athletic that the injury can have two paths: As of now, surgery doesn’t seem to be necessary. The latest reports suggest that the star infielder can rehab as usual and will likely be healthy enough for opening day or shortly thereafter....

The two musicians collaborated on a joint album titled Her Loss, which was released in November 2022 and boasted tracks such as “Rich Flex,” “Privileged Rappers” and “Major Distribution.” Drake, 36, took to the stage at Harlem’s historic Apollo Theater in New York City over the weekend for special SiriusXM concerts on both Saturday and Sunday evening. The rapper, who in December revealed a large necklace sporting 351.38 carats of diamond across 42 engagement rings, seemingly symbolizing every time he thought about proposing but never did, brought out 21 Savage during his set on Saturday....

The 2023 Winter Classic is back in Boston this season, as the Bruins are set to host the Penguins at Fenway Park for the 14th edition of the New Year’s festivities. The outdoor game has been played every season in the NHL since the event was created ahead of the 2007-08 season. The lone exception was in 2021 when the delayed start to the season caused the NHL not to have the Winter Classic that year....

After several weeks of waiting, Fortnite’s epic event is nearly here. The Doomsday event that will end Chapter 2 Season 2 is scheduled to start on June 15 at 2 p.m. ET.

The Nevada debate, the primary’s ninth, will take place on February 19 in Las Vegas. The debate will be hosted by NBC News and MSNBC in partnership with The Nevada Independent. The Nevada caucuses will then be held just three days later on February 22. In order to qualify for the Nevada debate, candidates are required to meet either a delegate threshold or a polling threshold. The delegate threshold requires the candidate to have been allocated at least one pledged delegate to the Democratic National Convention from either Iowa or New Hampshire....

‘The present is the past’ is all I’ll say after watching Serena Williams winning a Slam again, adding it to her glorious tennis reign. Three months, three tournaments and three tittles she cannot be described in words for sure. The three sets score line of 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 for over a period of 2:18 mins is surely the best way to win a championship. It was only the first time in this US Open that she was tested to her limits, but even a second set 2-6 win was not sufficient for the world number one Victoria Azarenka to outclass Serena Williams, who is full of experience which she gained over the years on the tour....

For decades, of course, the world has been ashamed of not helping the Annenians enough. Ever since the Turks massacred hundreds of thousands of Armenians in 1915, the tiny republic in the Caucasus has suffered a massive persecution complex. With good reason: after decades of repressive Soviet rule, their ancient enemies the Azerbaijanis started to blockade the republic. In Yerevan, 1.5 million residents are facing their fifth straight winter of minimal electricity, scant food and no hot water at all....
