Ordinarily it pays to be circumspect when a study links a toxic chemical to human disease, especially when that link rests solely on animal experiments. But a study released this evening in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences caught my eye. It was led by neuroscientist Michael Merzenich of the University of California, San Francisco, who has done pioneering research on neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to change (for good or ill) in response to experience....

DuVernay had been developing New Gods since 2018, co-writing the script with comic book author Tom King. She was set to direct the film, which would have adapted stories and characters from Jack Kirby’s epic Fourth World Saga. Kirby’s epic sci-fi story introduced characters such as the villain Darkseid, whose recent appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League may point to the reason for the New Gods cancellation, as the studio might want some breathing room between new appearances....

What Are Availability, Reliability, and Serviceability? Availability refers to the overall uptime of the computer system or its specific features. For example, a personal computer is available for use if its operating system is booted and running. While related to availability, the concept of reliability means something different. Reliability refers to the general likelihood of a failure occurring in a running system. A perfectly reliable system will enjoy 100 percent availability....

J.T. Compher and Sven Andrighetto also scored. Derick Brassard added an empty-netter as the Avalanche moved into position for the second wild card in the Western Conference. Colorado had an array of forwards step up with All-Star Mikko Rantanen missing the game with an upper-body injury. Wilson came through with his first goal since Feb. 7. Grubauer kept up his torrid play by winning his fourth straight start. He’s allowed four goals over stretch....

Kadri pushed in a rebound with 0.1 seconds remaining in the third period Sunday to beat the defending Stanley Cup champion Blues 2-1 in the league’s Edmonton bubble location. The power-play goal was confirmed after a video review by the league in Toronto. According to the NHL, Kadri’s goal was just the second go-ahead goal in postseason history to be scored at 19:59 of the third period. Jussi Jokinen scored the first one, in 2009 for the Hurricanes vs....

Avatar: The Way of Water is the follow-up to director James Cameron’s recording-breaking film Avatar, which hit theaters during the 2009 holiday season. The film, which starred Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Laz Alonso, and Michelle Rodriguez, introduced audiences to the fantastical world of Pandora. The film was a cinematic spectacle and made over $2 billion worldwide to become the highest-grossing film of all time, which is a performance the sequel aspires to replicate....

Posted to a now-deleted Github thread by user Woctezuma, the leak claims that fans can expect Avowed on December 7, 2022, Fable on October 12, 2023, and The Elder Scrolls 6 on January 2, 2024. It’s important to keep in mind that, given how frequently release dates change in the games industry, these dates are far from set in stone, however, they can provide a relative window for when fans can expect the upcoming titles....

Disco Elysium is not a traditional RPG. Putting players in the shoes of an amnesiac detective trying to solve a murder, the main gameplay loop revolves around making diverse dialogue choices, with each branching out into radically offbeat directions that flip the entire narrative upside down. With the aim of trying to get more players involved in the bleak dystopian city of Revachol​, Nintendo Switch and Xbox versions of the Final Cut were announced in 2020, although a very loose 2021 release date was attached to them....

Mark Farkas and Judy Plavnick, award-winning producers from the Washington area, are collaborating on a documentary project about Dan Snyder, the widely maligned, lightning-rod owner of the local pro football franchise. To jump-start financing and spread the word, they’re conducting a crowd-funding campaign that runs through midnight ET Wednesday.

The chances of having Squid Game-inspired anything within Overwatch are nil, it’s still fun to think about. The artwork depicts Reaper as one of the workers, wearing all pink like the jumpsuits from the show. He’s even wearing one of the worker masks – in this case, one with a triangle on it. D.Va is also a part of the fan art, dressed as one of the players. The costumes in the show are fairly basic and not over the top like most within the hero shooter so, if anything, these would probably only be implemented epic skins....

On Saturday he wreaked havoc on the Tamil Nadu top order, which resulted in equalling Punjab’s Siddharth Kaul as the highest wicket taker in the tournament with 19 wickets with still one game to take the lead. Axar who was criticised by the legend, Sunil Gavaskar for bowling flat and quick and giving the ball too much air, believed he could answer him back and his figures were the perfect response to his critcs....

AZ Alkmaar come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Frank Wormuth’s Heracles in the league. Goals from midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and Greek attacker Vangelis Pavlidis secured the win for Pascal Jansen’s AZ Alkmaar. Danish winger Nikolai Laursen scored the consolation goal for Heracles. Feyenoord, on the other hand, beat Henk de Jong’s Cambuur 3-1 in the Eredivisie.

The toddler was struck on the head in the Girona province of Catalonia on Tuesday and was immediately rushed to hospital. She was pronounced dead from head trauma in the early hours of August 31, said Carme Vall, mayor of the town of La Bisbal d’Empordà. “We’ve had the awful case of the little girl who was hit by a stone,” Vall told Spain’s national broadcaster, RTVE. “There wasn’t much that could be done for her and she died today....

In the video, which was posted to Facebook by Courtney Blanchard Buchholtz, a baby can be seen sleeping in its crib when debris begins to fall from the ceiling. Shortly after, the baby’s parents can be seen rushing into the room and removing the baby from its crib. Another video posted to Facebook shows the baby’s parents rushing out of one room to remove the baby from another room. Buchholtz posted several other pictures of her home after it was hit by a tree....

For Baker, the first crawl toward peace meant ending the region’s longstanding game of “you first.” He urged both sides to abandon rhetorical preconditions in favor of a gradual narrowing of the gap between them. Both sides accepted the idea, but in principle more than substance. The only concrete concession to emerge from last week’s diplomacy concerned the long-standing Arab call for an international Mideast peace conference. Israel has always opposed being dragged into such a forum, and after meeting with Baker, Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said a conference should not be convened “without proper preparation....

This isn’t to say the encouraging people to pick up Back 4 Blood because of its similarities to the Left 4 Dead franchise is wrong, but focusing on these parts of the game can also limit interest in some of its best aspects. Back 4 Blood has taken what Left 4 Dead had established and used those solid foundations to build an entirely new player experience. Left 4 Dead was thrilling for its time, but better hardware has allowed Back 4 Blood to become a unique experience that shines on its own....

This tier list should help newcomers to Back 4 Blood decide what to keep and what to discard when getting ready to face off against the Ridden. It’s important to note that this list only covers the primary weapons offered in the game and that different players will likely get different mileage out of each weapon based on their own personal preferences and playstyles, but due to the sheer number of guns available, there are some that are just outclassed by others....

According to Turtle Rock, Back 4 Blood will feature multiple cosmetic items, skins, and characters. Some of which are available only through pre-ordering the ultimate edition or as part of the game’s annual pass.
