Project Dynamo is a nonprofit organization of volunteer humanitarians, veterans and Gold Star family members. According to the group, it is working to get Americans out of Ukraine, where as many as 30,000 Americans live, according to Fox13. The group said that last month it began planning rescue operations for Ukraine by placing team members in the country. The group said the Biden administration’s warning for Americans to leave the country and the declaration that the government would not provide assistance served as the catalyst for the planning....

The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist netted his side’s second and third goal in the game to snatch the maximum points and ease their relegation fears at the Osmanlı Stadium. Musa Cagiran put the home team in front in the 27th minute from the spot but Soner Aydodu grabbed the visitors’ equaliser nine minutes later. Four minutes into the second half, Umar scored to recover the vital lead for the hosts but Aydodu levelled matters from the spot on the hour mark for Okan Buruk’s side....

What are task wins in Among Us? Every game of Among Us assigned the crew a series of tasks to complete. When all tasks are completed the game ends in a crew victory. This is a fairly straightforward way to win the game for some crewmates, but some players fail to understand what purpose the tasks serve. The purpose of the tasks isn’t to be the primary way that crewmates win in Among Us, tasks are effectively a timer placed on the game....

King–who has been met with sharp criticism for bringing up the sexual assault allegations brought against Bryant in an interview with his friend Leslie–has said that she is “mortified” about the backlash. In 2003, Bryant was accused of raping a 19-year-old woman in Colorado. The case was dismissed after the woman refused to testify in court, but the allegations nevertheless impacted Bryant’s reputation. Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash in California on January 26 along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and several other people....

The Iraq that Khalilzad leaves behind (to take up a post as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations) is a fundamentally different place than the one he parachuted into in the summer of 2005. Then, Khalilzad was hailed as a possible savior–the strong-arming diplomat that could put the U.S. back on track in Iraq. He had spent the previous 18 months wrangling with warlords in Afghanistan, where he was born, so it didn’t seem that far-fetched....

SCARLET: After college I took a trip around Europe. I was hitchhiking from Munich to Paris and I got picked up by someone who started talking about the Cinematheque. So I went. The programming was completely surreal. You could have a Japanese monster movie followed by an MGM musical or a silent Russian film. I started coming day after day. It was hypnotic… You can place that in the context of what the French had done decades before with jazz....

Like any sale there is also a lot of hype over discounts that aren’t that good. But either way, it seems the company does not feel it would be able to ship items to its usual timely standards if Prime Day was held in July. Prime Day is usually most popular for discounting items like the Nintendo Switch, a console that has been very hard to get hold of during the pandemic due to demand....

While peripherals are only a minuscule portion of the price tag, every saving helps when building a PC. The Prime Early Access Sale includes a wide range of mice and keyboards from established brands such as Razer and Logitech, and there are options for both office and gaming computers. How We Chose These Deals? These mouse and keyboard deals have been selected due to their relevancy, product quality, and price discount....

Alongside great deals on devices, there are a few nice additions to product lines making them even better value at their reduced rate. The premium Echo Studio speaker is down 20% to $159.99 on its store page and features the same free Phillips Hue bulbs offer. Echo Show and Cameras Are Also Going Cheap The saving doesn’t stop with smart speakers, as the entire Echo Show range has also seen some significant reductions....

There is not an exact list of what games are now exclusive to Prime members, but some of the games listed in the UK store were FIFA 16, Far Cry Primal and GTA V, along with a handful of others. Upon further investigation, these games were found to still be available to non-Prime members in the US, with the exception of the PS4 version of GTA V. It’s hard to understand how making games exclusive for purchase makes sense financially, until one takes into account that a Prime membership costs $99 per year....

Heard, 36, was sued for $50 million by ex-husband Depp, 59, over a 2018 op-ed in The Washington Post, in which she said that she was a domestic abuse survivor. Following a six-week trial, the jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages. The judge adjusted the punitive damages to $350,000, as Virginia law limits punitive damages. Heard, who had countersued for $100 million, was awarded $2 million by the jury, which found that Depp’s former attorney, Adam Waldman, had made defamatory comments about the Aquaman star....

The reason why AMC is boycotting Universal Pictures is because of the studio’s decision to release some of its films early, such as Trolls World Tour, via video on demand (VOD) rather than wait to show them in cinemas once stay-at-home orders are lifted. In its statement, sent from AMC to Universal, AMC said that “Therefore, effective immediately AMC will no longer play any Universal movies in any of our theatres in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East....

According to a report, there is the possibility that AMD may be getting ready to release a couple of RX graphics cards which will be lower spec, but also means they will be much cheaper. In particular, the report cites a tweet from a leaker who suggests that an RX 6400 and RX 6500 XT could be on the horizon, both of which will allegedly have 4 GB of RAM over a 64-bit bus....

BlackRock addressed the issue of rising costs in its 2022 Midyear Global Outlook report that was issued Monday. The company wrote that “major spending shifts” and “production constraints,” rather than excessive demand, have been driving inflation, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as the “root” of those constraints and Russia’s war in Ukraine as a factor that worsened them. “Major central banks are jacking up policy rates in a rush to get back to neutral levels that neither stimulate nor restrain activity,” the report read....

Eggs are a staple that, for decades, have easily (and relatively cheaply) been purchased from grocery stores and stocked in kitchens, but they’ve become increasingly hard to come by or way more expensive in recent months. In some stores across the U.S., customers are limited in the amount of egg cartons they can buy. One of the reasons behind the sudden shortage is the outbreak of bird flu that, after starting last year, has killed millions of birds in a dozen countries around the world, including poultry and wild birds....

NEWSWEEK: TO me, the lead character in this movie is New York. Was it always set there? Foster: Originally, it was set in Anytown USA, meaning, wherever it would be cheaper to make—Toronto or something. But I just felt like you couldn’t do this movie without talking about New York and how that has changed. We all love New York, but sometimes you hate it, too. [Erica’s] somebody whose show is specifically about what she loves about New York and how that’s disappearing....

The whole thing sounds a little weasily to legal experts-the modern equivalent of nailing gangster Al Capone on tax evasion because the murder, bootlegging and gun-running charges couldn’t stick. “The case is, of course, preposterous,” David Meyer, a University of Illinois constitutional-law professor and “Sopranos” fan, said after consiglieres for both sides battled it out in a Chicago courtroom Thursday. The group-which is called the American-Italian Defense Association-says it is seeking neither to halt the production of “The Sopranos” nor any money in damages (Yeah, right!...

I’m willing to make exceptions for people whose families have coats of arms that go back to the Magna Carta. But, seriously, if your neighbor called you up and said, “Hey, come on over and see my new coat of arms,” you’d think he was pretentious. And if you actually went over and found that he had redecorated the family room in a Scottish motif and was wearing a kilt as he hung the coat of arms on the wall, you’d think he was not only pretentious, but weird too....
