Then the tide turned. After Amnesty International, a London-based human-rights group, accused Morocco of hacking the smartphone of dissident journalist Omar Radi using an Israeli company’s spyware, it expected an easy win. The group issued an elaborate report on June 22 alleging Radi’s iPhone had “traces” of the spyware produced by NSO Group, which has links to Israel’s elite 8200 intelligence unit. Radi has long been critical of Morocco’s elected government, and was arrested for criticizing a judge’s ruling in a tweet....

Your healthcare provider may offer you this test during your pregnancy. Usually, it’s because your baby is at risk for genetic disorders or neural tube defects. An amniocentesis carries some risks, and while many expectant parents have this test, others decide against it. This article walks you through the procedure and purpose of amniocentesis, what to expect before, during, and after the test, and what the results mean for you and your baby....

While this story is very popular, little is known about the batsman slotted to come in next; a 13-year-old boy named Amol Muzumdar. Padded up ever since the first wicket fell, Muzumdar waited in the wings for the entire duration of the remainder of the innings; he kept practicing in the nets, and every time he checked, he saw the two continue their onslaught on the hapless bowlers. When Shardashram finally declared their innings on a colossal 748, Tendulkar and Kambli were still unbeaten, and Muzumdar’s pads came off without a stroke in the middle....

Hot off the release of the new Airship map in Among Us, developer InnerSloth is already focusing its attention towards what is next for its massive who-dun-it franchise. The Among Us IP has branched out far beyond just gaming, so making things like apparel, toys, or stuffed plushies makes all the sense in the world.

Following Selangor’s 2-0 defeat to Pahang in their Super League match on Wednesday, the Red Giants boss Maniam Pachaiappan lamented the failure of returnees Amri Yahyah and Andik Vermansah to adapt to his preferred formation. Last week, Selangor signed former golden boy Amri from Melaka United and re-registered Andik in their competitions squad, and the pair did not have to wait long to feature for Selangor for the first time this season....

Uploading a brief clip to the Skyrim subreddit recently, user ArmandTheDon has captured the moment when a simple conversation with a trader in Riften becomes interrupted by a passing guard. Only the guard isn’t walking back and forth at a steady pace, nor are they disrupting the transaction in any physical way. Instead, they can be seen in the background, gliding along as though the floor is a smooth sheet of ice, or traders in the world of Tamriel have started selling rollerblades....

Bloomberg reported that Barrett was set to travel by plane from her home on Saturday. Late in the day, Trump is anticipated to announce at the White House that Barrett is his choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created after Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death. According to The Wall Street Journal, a multi-million dollar Gulfstream business jet was sent to Barrett’s home state on Saturday, with the purpose of transporting her to the event....

The post wasn’t all bad news though. The Preview Event from August 2020 was extremely beneficial for the studio thanks to feedback from players. Based on that, the studio has already made substantial changes to the game including improved combat, expanding weapon and armor variety, overhauled the crafting system, and continued to add content to the mid and late game. Not only that, fishing was added to the game and the map was expanded to include a new region called Reekwater....

RELATED: Lost Ark Update Adjusts Proving Ground Ranks and More Oblivion hardly needs any introduction, as it’s clearly the headlining game here. In this open-world RPG, players must resolve the Oblivion Crisis in Cyrodiil before it’s too late. Players can customize their own classes, use magic and melee in first-person, work with a ton of factions, and tons more. If anyone hasn’t played it, now’s the time.

With the underwhelming reception of the 2018 Tomb Raider film, some fans may be skeptical about another adaption, especially if it seems disingenuous to the source material. What’s tricky about a new adaptation is that many Tomb Raider fans have mixed feelings about different iterations of Lara Croft over others. While the “survivor” trilogy of games - 2013’s Tomb Raider through 2018’s Shadow of the Tomb Raider - was a significant departure from the Lara seen in classic games, the arc of growth she went through as a character is essential to have in any future adaptation....

Although the company promised to pay employees who have been diagnosed with the virus up to two weeks of pay, multiple workers who meet the standards for sick leave say they have not received pay or only got a reduced amount, according to a Wednesday report from CNBC. Kish added that workers sent home with a fever would be given “up to five hours” of their pay for the day, which would equate to a little under 60 percent of an eight-hour day....

For three and a half years, the small but influential Persian Gulf state of Qatar has been the black sheep of the Gulf Arab family—cut off from its immediate neighbors, condemned as a miscreant seeking to undermine the internal affairs of other Arab nations, and accused by some of the region’s governments of being a terrorist-sponsoring state. In June 2017, weeks after President Donald Trump’s state visit to Saudi Arabia, Riyadh and its partners in the Gulf decided they had enough and sought to punish Doha for what it perceived as its bad, unneighborly behavior (Qatar strongly denied all of the allegations leveled against it)....

Ankara has not acted as is expected of a U.S. ally. Turkey, a NATO member, purchased, received and tested the Russian S-400 missile system. Erdogan supports Hamas terrorists, maintains an affinity for hostage diplomacy and helps Iran bust international sanctions. These provocations have prompted numerous Trump administration officials to say the right things, but definitive action has too often been slow to follow. Continuing on the current path is a mistake....
