The beauty of the ground and the surroundings were used by the batsmen as objects of recreation as they looked at them and refreshed themselves in between deliveries, not to mention that those deliveries were, at most left alone, and at the very least, dispatched from their presence. Resuming at 353/3, the arduous task of negating the run deficit was achieved nonchalantly by the home side, as Amla, who started the day on 157, 43 short of his 4th double hundred achieved it eventually, and with it, dismissed any thoughts of his sheen fading away....

Amnesty’s 280-page diatribe entitled, “Israel’s Apartheid Against the Palestinians: Cruel System of Domination and Crime Against Humanity,” alleges that the only liberal democracy in the Middle East and the only Jewish state in the world is a criminal enterprise and has been since its formation in 1948. According to Amnesty, the State of Israel is an apartheid state whose very existence is a crime against humanity. In an interview with The Times of Israel website last week, Philip Luther, Amnesty’s director of research and advocacy for the Middle East and North Africa, described the way he and his fellow authors perceive Israel’s parliamentary democracy, which as his interviewer Lazar Berman noted, is admired by 68 percent of the Palestinians....

But rather than do that, Amouranth recently revealed that Twitch has indefinitely suspended ads on her channel, without prior notice. While ads may or may not appear on her channel going forward — Amouranth has said that this hasn’t been made clear to her — she will not get a cut of these profits. However, while she said that she’s not personally concerned about her own revenue, as her income from different places such as sponsorships and subs, this could be problematic for those who are making a living on hot tub streams....

In turn, many streamers who knew Amouranth attempted wellness checks. Police were reportedly called to Amouranth’s house too, again for wellness checks....

What Is an AMR File? A file with the AMR file extension is an Adaptive Multi-Rate ACELP Codec file. ACELP is a human speech audio compression algorithm that stands for Algebraic Code Excited Linear Prediction.

Part erotic killer-thriller, part morbid fairy tale, Tom Tykwer’s new film “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” is a visual feast that is both oddly captivating and deeply uncomfortable to watch. Based on the 1985 international best seller by Munich writer Patrick Süskind, “Perfume” is the tale of an olfactory genius who becomes obsessed with distilling the scent of virgins in his murderous pursuit to create the perfect perfume. Tykwer (“Run, Lola, Run”) and producer Bernd Eichinger (who wrote the screenplay for last year’s Oscar-nominated drama “Downfall”) combine a lush score with breathtaking sets....
