The money, co-earmarked for use with former Republican Rep. Jim Ramstad and Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison, was intended to found the Minnesota Teen Challenge’s “Know the Truth” program, which Klobuchar said would “expand their drug prevention education efforts for teenagers.” But documents and pamphlets from the time of Klobuchar’s donation show that the organization lists Halloween, the fantasy book and movie series Harry Potter, and the anime and video game series Pokémon as “gateways to drug addiction....

Circulaban muchos rumores acerca de la posibilidad que la multinacional se decidiera a presentar su propia plataforma y así competir directamente con la de Google, Microsoft y Nvidia, pero poco más se sabía hasta ahora. Como ocurre con todos los servicios de videojuegos en la nube actuales, es muy probable que haya ciertos requisitos técnicos que cada dispositivo tenga que cumplir, ya sea un procesador potente o una versión de software reciente....

Marc Whitten leaving the company now strikes a potentially huge blow to the future of this service. Whitten has a lot of experience in the industry, as he worked at Microsoft from January 1997 to March 2014. He helped with the inception of the Xbox brand, including in its most successful Xbox 360 years. Clearly, the man has plenty of knowledge of how this industry works, meaning Luna could be in serious trouble if he is leaving the project so quickly....

¿De qué trata La guerra del mañana? La guerra del mañana promete ser una de esas películas de ciencia ficción futurísticas que te dejan con la boca abierta. Aunque, obviamente, tendremos que esperar a poder verla para saber si realmente es tan buena como parece. De momento, su sinopsis parece tener los ingredientes correctos para el éxito: un grupo de viajeros (no viajeros normales, si no viajeros en el tiempo), se transportan hasta el año 2051....

The online retailer confirmed that the item, sold by a third-party, had been removed from its store after The Independent first reported on the move. A link to the item sold by Onlybabycare that was shared on social media also now leads to an error page. Journalist Yashar Ali, who was written for New York Magazine and HuffPost, was the first to share a picture of the children’s T-shirt....

But his inexplicable behaviour off the pitch and venting out on important matters on Twitter has come to the forefront again. In the tweet, he seemed to request KT Rama Rao, Telangana’s Municipal Administration, and Urban Development Minister, to have a closer look at the influence of corruption and politics prevalent in the selection of Ranji team and other incidents involving the HCA. The current HCA president, Mohammad Azharuddin, responded to the viral tweet stating that the former Indian batsman was a ‘frustrated cricketer’....

Heard recently sat down with Today’s Savannah Guthrie for her first post-trial interview following her high-profile court battle with Depp, who sued her for $50 million over a 2018 op-ed for The Washington Post, in which she said she was a domestic abuse survivor—a claim the jury found to be false and defamatory. Following a six-week trial, the jury on June 1 awarded Depp $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive damages....

The questions rolled onto the op-ed pages like so many battle tanks. What exactly was this New World Order? Could it be just a cloak for American hegemony? Fashionable notions like “American decline” were hastily cast aside, replaced by older phrases like “world policeman” and “pax Americana.” Where, in the new scheme of things, did the Soviet Union fit–or Germany, or Japan, or the United Nations? Was military muscle, recently thought to be a bit passe, in fact what counted in the world, and economic power overrated?...

New Orleans native Lawrence Brooks was joined by friends, family, fellow service members and museum staff for a celebration in the Museum’s Louisiana Memorial Pavilion. In addition to well wishes and birthday cupcakes, Brooks was feted by the museum’s vocal trio, The Victory Belles, who serenaded him with patriotic classics. “The Museum’s mission is to tell the important stories of the men and women who served in World War II,” said Stephen Watson, president and CEO of The National WWII Museum....

Then again, I’m no longer in high school, where students are compelled–not forced by the government, of course, but compelled nonetheless–to do just that every morning. So right after the Supreme Court heard the historic arguments about the Pledge of Allegiance last week , I headed to Brooklyn’s Lafayette High School to see whether today’s students had any sympathy for California atheist Michael Newdow–the guy who wants to remove the “under God” from our national loyalty oath....

In the investing world, spring is known as “proxy season.” That’s because most major companies hold their annual meetings between April and June, and at those events shareholders vote (often remotely, i.e. “by proxy”) on the composition of executive boards and resolutions asking companies to take certain actions, such as limiting executive pay or increasing diversity in hiring. As the national press corps and political groups focused almost exclusively on palace dramas in a gridlocked Congress, shareholder advocates turned the 2021 proxy season into a referendum on corporate social responsibility, along the way scoring big real-world victories even with the odds stacked against them....

“Milkmaids” stars Julia Schlaepfer, Seth Gabel, Addison Timlin, Ian Sharkey, and Cody Fern, who has starred in both American Horror Stories and American Horror Story. This handful of stars is all “Milkmaids” needs to create a treacherous and truly unforgettable story that will begin with viewers contemplating whether to look for the nearest trashcan or keep their eyes planted on the screen. For fans of the original series or the horror spin-off, “Milkmaids” is an absolute can’t miss....

He figures a championship would do the trick — and now he’s only two victories away. Isner, a 33-year-old American playing in his 41st major tournament, reached his first Grand Slam semifinal by beating Milos Raonic 6-7 (5), 7-6 (7), 6-4, 6-3 at the All England Club on Wednesday. He’d never even been past the third round in 10 previous appearances at Wimbledon, a place he called a “house of horrors” earlier in the tournament because of all of his quick exits and five-set losses....

The Ain al-Asad air base in Iraq’s western Anbar province was one of two military facilities hit by Iranian ballistic missiles last week, as Tehran retaliated for the U.S. assassination of Major General Qassem Soleimani. The attack appeared designed to avoid American casualties that would invite retaliation. In the days before, President Donald Trump warned that any Iranian response could prompt a massive wave of American counter-strikes, targeting key political and even cultural sites in a “disproportionate” manner....

The exposure occurred in December, and Reed has recently reported the lack of care for his medical issues, according to a tweet from Jason P. Rebholz, a spokesperson for the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Reed was sentenced to nine years in prison over allegations that he assaulted Russian police officers while he was in the country visiting his girlfriend. Members of his family told Newsweek last month they were concerned they may never see him again if the situation between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate....

David Korpiewski, a Massachusetts resident, is trying to get his 10-year-old daughter, Mary, dual American and Ukrainian citizen, to Poland from Dnipro, a central Ukrainian city. However, even if Mary’s mother is able to get her across the border to reunite with David, the family won’t be able to stay together. Once in Poland, they have to obtain a new passport for Mary because hers is still at their home in Kyiv, and her mother doesn’t have the right documentation to come to the United States....

Mnuchin told CNBC’s Kayla Tausche on Thursday that the White House supports another round of economic impact payments. In most cases, funds would be issued through direct deposits, not paper checks, and Mnuchin said the Department of the Treasury has the ability to “get that into hard working Americans’ bank accounts very, very quickly.” It’s likely that the next round of payments is more targeted than those included in the CARES Act that was unanimously passed in Congress in March....
