The fight between YouTube megastar Logan Paul and boxing legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. will be an exhibition boxing match. This fight won’t affect their professional boxing record. However, despite being booked as an exhibition match, it has captivated combat sports fans as well as pop culture followers in general. Many believe that in spite of Logan Paul being a beginner in the realm of boxing, his youth and size advantage could play a huge role in a potential upset win over Floyd Mayweather....

“Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” had been on hiatus the last three weeks as a part of the deal the Mannings struck with ESPN to begin the alternate broadcast. They will broadcast 10 of the 17 “Monday Night Football” games per year, so there will be the occasional multi-week absence from the program, as there was from Weeks 4 through 6. But in Week 7, the brothers are back for the first time since the Cowboys’ 41-21 win over the Eagles in Week 3....

At the lunch interval, Sachin Tendulkar, Anil Kumble, VVS Laxman and Harbhajan Singh, all of whom have achieved memorable feats at Eden Gardens, came together to create cricketing nostalgia. BCCI President and local hero Sourav Ganguly was also supposed to join them but could not make it as he was reportedly busy with administrative work. Kumble, who picked up 6 for 12 in the Hero Cup final at this very venue in 1993, said,...

The number of flu cases are steadily increasing as the flu season picks up steam. The U.S. saw 841 influenza-related hospitalizations in the week ending on December 4, nearly a double from the week prior, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The number of flu-related hospitalizations pale in comparison to the more than 55,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients. However, since the two respiratory illnesses often present similar symptoms, it can be important to know which virus you are infected with early on to inform treatment....

For better or for worse, we don’t receive electric shocks or another automatic punishment whenever we break the law. Stopping others from violating the law and your rights requires action on your part. You actually have to enforce those rights. If you’ve ever tried saying to someone, “That’s against the law!” or “You’re violating my rights!” then you probably know that that doesn’t usually resolve the problem. If you want to enforce your rights, you often have to hire a lawyer and bring a lawsuit....

Most fans would surely agree that Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End and Uncharted: The Lost Legacy are a step above previous games in several areas. The tighter focus on character development offers the best storytelling in the series, while the graphics and gameplay are at their best as well. However, one thing the newer games are missing is the fantastical enemies from the original trilogy, something that always made Uncharted stand out....

But the latest news surrounding Wilson is no laughing matter. Wilson was rushed to a hospital by ambulance over the weekend under mysterious circumstances. The Internet started buzzing that Wilson had attempted suicide, with unnamed sources coming forward to say he had cut his wrist (or wrists), and a recent Los Angeles police log shows that the authorities were indeed sent to Wilson’s house in the middle of the night in response to an attempted suicide call....

A photo, obtained by ABC News, shows Pence with his daughter Charlotte, his brother, U.S. Rep. Greg Pence, and his wife, Karen, in a room just off the Senate floor after being evacuated from the chamber floor as the insurrection was taking place. According to an unnamed source who was also in the room, the former second lady, who is seen drawing curtains in the ceremonial room, did so as she was worried the rioters would see the Pence family and target them....

From a historical perspective, it was an irresponsible blunder for the Republican leadership to scupper a bipartisan commission to investigate the events of Jan. 6. Such a commission was needed to bind up the nation’s wounds, to heal, and to prevent a renewal of the nauseating events of that day from ever happening again. Sometimes the right thing is also the politically expedient thing; it’s the job of the statesman to find those intersections, even to bring them about....

Many Republicans will try to avoid the scale of Tuesday’s defeat, but that would be an enormous mistake. Everything we said about how important this runoff was (the most consequential in history) and the impact of losing it (a profound shift in power from Republicans to Chuck Schumer and the Senate Democrats) was true. This vital runoff has now been lost. As I write there is still some hope for Sen....

It was widely believed that the materialization of the Abraham Accords was basically just luck, but that could not be further from the truth. There were particular reasons for this foreign policy success. One key was the absence of a public process, because the only good that comes from such processes in a volatile region like the Middle East is job security for the people involved. Previous attempts at Middle East peace involved a myriad of public confidence-inducing measures, and then pundits from across the political spectrum and around the world would dissect every word and action....

Is it still possible to avert a destructive tech war? And if it comes, how will it play out? Although U.S. chip manufacturing has atrophied to just 12 percent of the world total, the U.S. dominates the top of the semiconductor pyramid, with leadership in electronic design automation, key manufacturing equipment, and intellectual property used by semiconductor equipment manufacturers around the world. China has an infant equipment industry that is years away from supplying the needs of its manufacturers, who can only produce chips several generations behind Taiwan and South Korea....

It is not for the faint of heart, but the end result can be so rewarding. So, are you up for it? If you’re keen on becoming an astrophotographer, here is a list of things you may want to start adding to your camera bag. 1. Choose a Camera With High ISO Capability With astrophotography, you will be working in the dark.

Though the new law doesn’t allow the government to lodge secret kill switches into cars, its vague language and implications raise privacy and legal concerns. Here’s what you need to know about the law, what it’s intended to do, and the potential implications. What Is The “Kill Switch Law?” The words “kill switch” are nowhere to be found in the language of the Infrastructure Investment and Job Acts. In fact, the whole thing is misleading because if you’re thinking of installing a kill switch in a car, you’re probably motivated by theft deterrence....

Ishikawa’s suicide inspired national headlines and a bout of soul-searching. Virtually alone among nations, Japan is still uncomfortable with its patriotic symbols. At the Olympics and other international events, Japan is represented by emblems dating as far back as the 10th century, but mainly for lack of anything more modern. At home, postwar governments have never granted official status to the rising sun flag, Hinomaru, or the medieval anthem, “Kimigayo....

There are several such titbits in a new book on the sport titled “Kabaddi by Nature” written by Vivek Chaudhary. The author chronicles the revival of kabaddi from a rural sport languishing in obscurity to a hep urban game being played in air-conditioned indoor stadiums with Bollywood stars and leading business magnates in the audience. Nearly 30 Indians set off for Berlin in 1936 from the town of Amravati, gathering at the headquarters of the Hanuman Vyayam Prasarak Mandal (HVPM), a prominent sports club at that time which organised this trip....

The Indian side have been practicing in Kolkata since August 15 in Kolkata ahead of the friendly matches.

The two friendlies against Nepal will serve as preparation for the Blue Tigers ahead of the upcoming edition of the SAFF Championship. It is slated to take place in October between India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Maldives and Sri Lanka....
