Pokémon Go used to require that players go outside and walk around to catch some Pokémon. Last year, Niantic rolled out a suite of features that made it easier for Pokemon Go players to play from home. These changes, and others that let players access Pokéstops, are now being rolled back by Niantic. Still, Niantic is determined to roll back its COVID changes to Pokémon Go, and as a result, players have started Pokémon No Day.

The pre-order system was a mess, then every retailer on the planet sold out, then the console started showing up on Ebay at ridiculously high prices. The traditional disc drive version of the console is $499, while the digital edition, which can only play downloaded games, is $399. The new line of Xbox consoles has been a bit easier to grab than a PlayStation, but getting one still feels like winning the lottery. The X is your traditional next-gen console.

Samsung’s Galaxy S21 series has failed to revive the company’s flagship sales, as per a new report from the Elec. Samsung’s Galaxy S21-series was a line of excellent phones, critically well-received with reviews praising the S21 Ultra as the best Android phone of 2021. Samsung is performing well with new 5G models from the Galaxy A series, but it faces increasing competition from Apple in the high-end and the Chinese vendors in the low-end, and it failed to take advantage of Huawei’s demise in Europe”. Samsung is set to launch a new slew of devices at Unpacked in the Galaxy Z Fold 3, Galaxy Z Flip 3 5G, Galaxy Buds 2, Galaxy Watch 4, and Galaxy Watch 4 Classic at Unpacked over the next week.

Promising review: "We started buying these balls for our Chiweenie when we got him almost five years ago. He cannot do anything without them. Since he is a smaller dog, they last forever, in fact, we have two that we gave him a few months ago that still have the squeaker in them and the squeaker still works!My dog wouldn't know what to do with himself if he did not have his 'spikey' ball."

I spun around to the guide and started pounding my fist on my chest: That was the sign for ‘I can't breathe!’ He seemed to notice and started walking away.I began to see that I was getting less and less oxygen with each breath, and water was starting to fill in my helmet.I had to look up to breathe what little air I had. As I broke the surface, air came rushing into my helmet, and I took a nice deep breath.

Britney Spears' father disapproved of her wanting to travel to Hawaii last month, her attorney said in new court papers, arguing that even though he changed his mind, the objection emphasized why removing him from her conservatorship is an urgent matter. Spears' attorney Mathew Rosengart cited the dispute in an application filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court Thursday, asking that a Sept. 29 hearing on the 39-year-old pop star's request to suspend her father, Jamie Spears, as conservator of her estate be moved up."In short, although a two-month wait for a hearing on the Petition may not seem significant in the context of 13 years, Ms. Spears should not be forced to continue feel traumatized, lose sleep, and suffer further," Rosengart wrote in the filing. He later added that while rescheduling the hearing on the singer's request to remove her father to an earlier date is "important," the "immediate suspension" of Jamie Spears "would be the most effective interim remedy, in the best interests of Ms.

The artistic swimmers may be some of the most elegant athletes at the Olympics, with their strength and ability to appear to be dancing in water in perfect sync. Artistic swimmers Svetlana Romashina and Svetlana Kolesnichenko of Team Russian Olympic Committee won the gold in Tokyo on Wednesday with their arachnid-themed routine to the song "Spiders."It is the sixth Olympic gold medal for Romashina, who said, “I don’t count medals. Ukraine’s Marta Fedina and Anastasiya Savchuk took the bronze, making them the first to win a medal in the artistic swimming event for their country.

The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) countries on Thursday pitched for adoption of technologies to reduce the impact of climate crisis on fisheries and acquaculture, and sought regional cooperation for cross-learning.A consultative meeting of scientists representing India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bhutan held by Agriculture Centre (SAC) has felt the urgent need for implementing strategies such as introduction of climate-friendly technologies in fisheries and aquaculture as well as measures for sustainable utilisation of the resources. In marine fisheries, the need for capacity building for exploitation of deep sea resources was raised by India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, scarcity of quality seeds and shortage of other input materials were the major gaps faced by the member countries in inland aquaculture, he said. Establishment of referral laboratories for aquatic animal health management, a centre of excellence in aquaculture and fisheries in the region and e-repository for information sharing were also listed in the recommendations.

on Thursday recalled an act of "unspeakable hate" by a white supremacist who shot ten people at a Sikh gurdwara in Winconsin in 2012 and urged Americans to stand up to hate and bigotry and ensure that all are able to practice their faith without fear."Nine years ago today, we witnessed an act of unspeakable hate as a white supremacist shot ten people at a Sikh Temple," Biden tweeted. In 2020 too, Biden, then the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party had joined several lawmakers and the Sikh community to remember the victims of the Oak Creek gurdwara shootout, urging the people to reduce gun violence and give hate no safe harbour. Eight years ago, a white supremacist targeted a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, WI - ultimately taking seven lives in an unspeakable act of terror, Biden had said in a statement.

Several coronavirus cases have been identified on cruise ships since U.S. operations restarted in June, including six passengers who tested positive on Royal Caribbean’s Adventure of the Seas recently, testing the cruise lines’ new Covid-19 protocols, which include isolating, contact tracing and testing passengers to prevent the virus from spreading. Most ships were able to complete their itineraries without issues, but American Cruise Lines, a small ship company, cut short an Alaska sailing earlier this month after three people tested positive for the virus. About half of customers in a similar position with Royal Caribbean Cruises did the same by the end of last year, the company said at the time. Cruises were halted around the world after the alarming outbreaks on ships, leading to sailing bans from the C.D.C.

By allowing officials to quickly spot vaccine deserts, pinpoint high-risk populations and target their resources more efficiently, digital maps have become crucial tools in the effort to ensure that vaccination campaigns leave no neighborhood behind. They began categorizing census tracts according to their vaccination rates and their scores on a national “social vulnerability index.” The index uses data on 15 different social, economic and demographic factors — including the age, minority status and education levels of residents, as well as local poverty and unemployment rates — to calculate how susceptible a given community would be in the event of some kind of disaster, like a hurricane or a pandemic. In mid-March, when the county first released it, much of the city of Milwaukee was colored dark orange, signaling that the area had high levels of social vulnerability but low vaccination rates. On the other hand, the suburbs, where the population is wealthier and whiter, were shaded a pale yellow, indicating that they had low scores on the vulnerability index but climbing vaccination rates.

Apple said iPhones will begin later this year using complex technology to spot images of child sexual abuse, commonly known as child pornography, that users upload to Apple’s cloud-storage service, called iCloud. Apple also said it would soon enable parents to turn on a feature that can flag when their children send or receive any nude photos in a text message. Apple said it had designed the new features in a way that protected the privacy of users, including by ensuring that Apple will never see or find out about any nude images exchanged in a child’s text messages. Apple provided quotes from some cybersecurity experts and child-safety groups who praised Apple’s approach.

Karate made its debut as an official Olympic sport at the Tokyo Games on Thursday as 120 men and women from around the world vied for medals. The Japanese organizers successfully lobbied for karate to be included as a medal sport, an upgrade from the cameo it made as a demonstration sport at the 1964 Tokyo Games. Two-thirds of the athletes are competing in the kumite portion of the program, where two fighters face off and try to hit and kick their opponents to score points.

The cartoon appears to be an example of the latest effort in Russian-aligned disinformation: a campaign that taps into skepticism and fears of coronavirus vaccination to not just undermine the effort to immunize people but also try to falsely link the Biden-Harris administration to the idea of forced inoculations. Both Russia and China have worked to promote their own vaccines through messaging that undermines American and European vaccination programs, according to the State Department’s Global Engagement Center. But in addition to overt messaging promoting their own vaccines, Moscow has also spread conspiracy theories. Last year, the department began warning about how Russia was using fringe websites to promote doubts around vaccinations.

The president of the most powerful U.S. teachers’ union signaled a growing openness to coronavirus vaccine mandates for teachers on Thursday, as the highly contagious Delta variant rips through the country and millions of unvaccinated children are about to return to the classroom. Randi Weingarten, the president of the American Federation of Teachers, which has 1.7 million members across the country, said that she had not ruled out support for a vaccine mandate.“Things have changed with Delta raging, and with the proximity of the full approval of the vaccines,” she told The New York Times on Thursday.“Because of those two facts, we are considering all alternatives, including looking at vaccine mandates.”

Economists on Wall Street and in Washington will be parsing employment data Friday for any hint at whether workers are prodded back into the labor market as federal unemployment insurance benefits are cut off. This will be the first jobs report that may reflect an increase in labor supply and hiring from the loss of benefits, because about half of the states had ended a $300-a-week federal supplement by the time of data collection. That money expires at a federal level on Sept. 6, but some states — all but one led by Republicans — began to curtail the federally funded support in mid-June, at the tail end of that month’s labor market survey. That is why many states ended the benefit early.

A bipartisan group of officials from the past five presidential administrations, as well as public health experts, are pressing private sector leaders to adopt a new set of recommendations to maximize coronavirus vaccination among their employees.“You have a key role to play in our national quest to keep Americans safe, while respecting individual liberties,” an open letter from the group says, asking businesses to institute new workplace rules that would complement actions by federal and local governments to increase vaccinations against the surging Delta variant. The letter recommends that private companies, which employ 124 million Americans, require staff members to get vaccinated. But it also recommends steps for companies to take if they choose not to require vaccination for their workforces.

You probably remember the ransomware attack against Colonial Pipeline: On May 7, a Russian cybergang under the name DarkSide hacked the company that operates the largest fuel pipeline in the US. That victory was short-lived: The DarkSide hackers appear to be back in business under the new moniker “Black Matter.” The new operation launched about a month after DarkSide folded and has posted ads on Russian language hacking forums seeking partners who can help it access the servers of major companies in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia with revenues of $100 million or more. In the days after DarkSide shut down, several users on hacking forums claimed to be jilted DarkSide business partners who were owed money for their role in previous ransomware attacks but never got paid. Darkside’s fate underscores how little power US law enforcement has to stop ransomware hackers on its own.

Restaurants and bars in various cities from Seattle to Kansas City are also now mandating proof of shots for customers. After implementing a proof of vaccination policy to enter the dance floor at Urban MO’s Bar and Grill in San Diego this week, co-owner Matthew Roman says that he has received backlash on social media and Yelp pages as well as people calling complaining about the vaccine mandates. Kai Wong, the manager of Kopitiam, a Malaysian restaurant in New York, says the city’s new mandate won’t change much for his restaurant, as it already requires patrons to enter with a mask, and if they didn’t have one, they just needed to show their vaccination card. This week, Yelp added features that allow restaurants and other businesses to let their customers know about Covid-19 vaccine requirements, where businesses could add descriptions like “proof of vaccination required” and “staff fully vaccinated” to their Yelp profiles.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) suggested in a private speech late last month that volunteers going door-to-door to ask whether residents have received a COVID-19 vaccine could be shot. In footage shared by progressive commentator David Pakman on Wednesday, Greene told a crowd in Dothan, Alabama that volunteers should remember the Second Amendment when asking Southerners whether they’ve been vaccinated. While the Biden Administration last month announced plans to have volunteers reach out to unvaccinated Americans with door-to-door campaigns, Alabama, which has the second-lowest vaccination rate in the country, has no such strategy in place.“Yea, well, what they don’t know is in the South we all love our 2nd Amendment rights and we’re not real big on strangers showing up on our front door, are we?” Greene continued.

India’s Mindtickle Inc. hit a valuation of $1.2 billion with a funding round led by Group Corp., as global investors plow capital into the country’s fast-growing technology industry. Existing backers including Norwest Venture Partners and Qualcomm Ventures participated in the $100 million round that has more than doubled Mindtickle’s valuation. The startup, based in Pune in western India and San Francisco, provides what it calls sales readiness technology: artificial intelligence-based sales tools to improve selling, product knowledge and awareness of the competition. Sales enablement technologies are projected to grow to $4.2 billion by 2027, and the conversation intelligence market will reach $13 billion by 2025, the startup said.

Some tried in vain to use hoses to keep the flames from engulfing their properties as a fire rekindled north of Athens on Thursday afternoon and spread rapidly, prompting more evacuations — including at Malakasa, a state camp from which asylum seekers would be evacuated to other facilities at the instruction of civil protection authorities, according to Greece’s migration ministry. Earlier on Thursday, Vasilis Vathrakoyiannis, a fire service spokesman, said 120 fires were burning around the country, with the largest and most worrying at ancient Olympia and on the island of Evia. On Wednesday afternoon, the Greek Coast Guard evacuated dozens of people from the seaside village of Rovies on the island after a huge fire moved through a nearby pine forest. Residents of several villages on the island were forced to abandon their homes, and the local authorities and the army dug fire lines to try to protect a monastery.

President Biden on Thursday granted special protections to Hong Kong residents in the United States, offering them a temporary deferral from deportation in response to an escalating crackdown by Chinese officials on democratic institutions and political dissent in Hong Kong. In a memo announcing the decision, Mr. Biden said there were “compelling foreign policy reasons” for the order, which would give any resident of Hong Kong targeted for deportation an 18-month reprieve to live temporarily in the United States. has continued its assault on Hong Kong’s autonomy, undermining its remaining democratic processes and institutions, imposing limits on academic freedom, and cracking down on freedom of the press,” Mr. Biden said in the memo, noting that at least 10,000 people, including pro-democracy officials and activists, have been arrested in connection with anti-government protests that began in 2019. Mr. Biden added that “offering safe haven for Hong Kong residents who have been deprived of their guaranteed freedoms in Hong Kong furthers United States interests in the region.”

“Despite FC Barcelona and Lionel Messi having reached an agreement and the clear intention of both parties to sign a new contract today, this cannot happen because of financial and structural obstacles (Spanish Liga regulations),” the team said in a statement on its website. This is a developing news story and will be updated.

“We are following the Delta variant in different parts of the country and closely monitoring the latest guidance from public health officials and local government authorities that encourages people to wear masks in indoor public spaces in areas of substantial or high transmission,” BlackRock’s chief operating officer, Rob Goldstein, and other officials wrote in their memo to employees. To better accommodate workers, BlackRock said, it will allow only vaccinated employees in its offices until Oct. 1, rather than the original date of Sept. 8. When BlackRock employees return to their offices in larger numbers, the money manager will introduce a hybrid policy whereby employees can work three days per week in the office and two from a remote location. The company said weeks ago that it would allow more flexibility for employees to work in the office and remotely, in contrast with other banking giants that have summoned staff back earlier, and in greater numbers.

Although this policy is well intended, I believe it is a mistake for a state or a country to offer to pay individuals to get vaccinated. An alternative model is being offered by the National Football League, which has stopped short of requiring players to be vaccinated but is offering plenty of incentives. Vaccinated players who test positive and are asymptomatic can return to duty after two negative tests 24 hours apart. The company will pay vaccinated workers $1,500 if 75 percent of employees get the vaccine, and $3,000 if the proportion reaches 85 percent.

Fenty Beauty—its name comes from Rihanna’s full name, Robyn Rihanna Fenty—launched in 2017 under the umbrella of LVMH’s beauty incubator, Kendo. Fenty Beauty had not only had the technical expertise and financial backing of LVMH, which already had a portfolio of perfumes and cosmetics brands, but also a built-in distribution channel in Sephora. Forbes now estimates Fenty Beauty’s value at a “conservative $2.8 billion,” and since Rihanna owns half, that amounts to about $1.4 billion for her. The ties between Rihanna and LVMH have generally been profitable for both, leading them to announce the launch of a full-fledged luxury fashion brand in 2019.
