In real life, instead of facing reapers, creepers, and other monsters, you face life challenges, hardships, and a host of negative emotions, which are the things that take many people down or have them get stalled or stuck in life. Building your own personal reward system is one technique to give you the benefits that gamers get — staying engaged, feeling like you are making progress, and enjoying your accomplishments....

For sports fans looking for something to keep them busy while stuck inside, the lack of NBA, NHL and March Madness games has been brutal. On Sunday afternoon, the decline in entertainment options extended into the virtual realm. Xbox Live has been down for much of the afternoon, preventing gamers from playing the likes of NBA 2K, FIFA and NHL online. Microsoft says it’s investigating the issue, but people aren’t happy about it....

Italian citizens Jugoslav Jovanovic, 24, Alessandro Maltese, 45, and Alessandro Donati, 44, struck three London mansions during a two-week period in December of 2019. The biggest theft was at the London home of Formula 1 heiress Tamara Ecclestone. Police said the thieves stole jewelry, cash, diamonds and other precious stones worth $34 million. The family was not home at the time of the robbery. Prosecutor Timothy Cray said the thefts were “the highest-value burglaries that have ever come to light” in Britain....

“The one thing we know, is that together, we can move forward,” the ad caption read. Right before Newsweek published this article, the original tweet was seemingly deleted. That hasn’t stopped it from zipping on in quote tweets around Twitter, though. The Tweet acted like a gif and showed the jacket being zipped together. It’s been quote tweeted thousands of times, but only had around 300 likes before it was deleted....

In an interview with the podcast “Pardon My Take,” Minshew tells a story he’d previously only told a handful of people. He reveals that back in college, he once attempted to break his hand by smashing it with a hammer. Your initial reaction would be to ask why, but there’s a somewhat good reason behind it. His plan was to gain a medical redshirt year, which would give him another year of eligibility....

“The department will provide support from federal law enforcement when an abortion clinic or reproductive health center is under attack,” Garland said in a statement Monday. “We will not tolerate violence against those seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services, physical obstruction or property damage in violation of the [Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act of 1994] FACE Act.” Garland said he has reached out to U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and FBI field offices in Texas and across the country to discuss FACE Act enforcement efforts, as more states eye the Texas law as a model for restricting abortion access....

In an interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, Johnson said Trump will be watching the Olympics. However, it won’t be to support United States. MORE: Photos from the Rio ‘16 opening ceremony “I hear that Donald Trump is watching the Olympics tonight,” Johnson said. “He’s seeing how high the Mexican pole vaulters go.” The comment is a not-so-thinly veiled attack on Trump’s promise to build a wall to fortify the border between the United States and Mexico....

The Egypt international has been in a spectacular form since he arrived at the Anfield outfit last summer, scoring 43 goals in 48 appearances in all competitions. The attacker has won the PFA and FWA Player of the Year awards following the feat and he is on course to scoop the English Premier League Golden boot prize having registered 31 efforts to lead the goalscorers’ chart. However, the 43-year-old believes the former Chelsea flop needs to maintain his current level next term so as ’to be mentioned in the same light as’ superstars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo....

Therefore, it is very important to be evaluated by a healthcare provider for any GI bleeding, and if someone has any of the symptoms of an acute bleed, they should seek emergency treatment immediately. Bleeding in the digestive tract is not a disease, but rather a symptom of disease. The cause of bleeding may be related to a condition that can be cured, or it may be a symptom of a more serious condition....

What Auburn and Missouri accomplished in 2013 was so impressive; they earned respect and had the two biggest turnarounds in college football in remarkable fashion. Two sinking ships found lifeboats after neither even made a bowl game the year before and after combining for an 8-16 record. For Auburn, it was Gus Malzahn, Nick Marshall and dynamic play of Tre Mason. For Missouri it was overall team health, Henry Josey and the defensive end duo of Kony Ealy and Michael Sam wreaking havoc in SEC backfields....

Newsom pulled his two eldest children from a summer camp in the state after it emerged that the organization was not enforcing mask wearing, which is required in California. The governor’s office announced that his children had been removed from the camp on Tuesday, within hours of the release of a poll that gave the Democrat a lead of just three percentage points in the recall election scheduled for September 14....

On Monday, NBC’s Jacob Soboroff pressed the conservative radio host if he’d accept the results of Tuesday’s election regardless if Elder won or lost. In response, the candidate refused to answer yes or no but repeated a variation of the same answer a few times. “I think we all ought to be looking at election integrity,” Elder said. “No matter whether you’re a Democrat, Independent, or Republican, let’s all make sure that the election is a fair election....

Voters will make their decision during the recall election, which is scheduled to take place on September 14. If more than 50 percent of voters cast their ballots in favor of removing Newsom from office, the recall candidate who receives the greatest number of votes will become his successor. While polls conducted earlier this year found a consistent 36 percent of registered voters in California supported removing Newsom from office, the new poll from Inside California Politics and Emerson College said that number has now jumped to 43 percent....

But Frost is only the latest milestone in Gen Z’s political ascendency—in recent years Gen Z-ers have grown in prominence across the political spectrum, from organizing widely-covered marches to meeting with the president. Moreover, Gen Z turned out to vote in droves this past November. I would know—I’m a nationally-cited pollster and at 18 years old, I’m a Gen Z-er myself. Last year, I founded a polling firm run exclusively by members of Gen Z, and to date, we’ve made waves across the industry with citations in outlets ranging from MSNBC to Fox News....

This modern phenomenon involves prospective parents revealing their unborn baby’s sex at a gathering of friends and family. It is done via a color reveal where either blue (for male) or pink (female) appears. The event’s climactic moment has been done in many creative ways. It could be by firing a confetti canon, cutting into a cake or, in the case of a recent viral video, popping a balloon with a dart....

People can identify as man, woman, a combination of both, no gender, or a gender that is neither man nor woman. Gender can be better understood as a spectrum. It is not set in stone, and a person’s understanding of their gender may grow. For example, if someone identifies as a man right now, they may identify differently in a year.
