But since Activision has been ceaselessly hyping the new game Transformers: War For Cybertron, I have decided to break my silence in a new feature, I like to call “Evan Jacobs: There, I Said It.” Now, everyone extols the Transformers movie of 1986, which is set in the distant future, 2005. I saw the Transformers movie when I was too young to remember it, but it seems to be a bit revolutionary, featuring the deaths of many Autobots including Optimus Prime....

Sandhu expressed his delight at the signing saying “I am glad to be associated with Anglian Medal Hunt Company which has taken great steps towards the development of Olympic sports in India. They have taken some fantastic initiatives to help sports people and have a different approach, which is very refreshing to see.” The Indian sharpshooter, who had last won at the World Cup stage four years ago, produced some excellent shooting to clinch the men’s trap gold medal ahead of two-time Olympic champion Michael Diamond of USA at the ISSF Shotgun World Cup in Tucson....

During the next two millenniums, the production and use of guidebooks continued at a steady pace. But it wasn’t until Lonely Planet debuted with “Across Asia on the Cheap” in 1973 that the modern guidebook boom was born. The book inspired a flood of competitors–including the Rough Guides and Let’s Go–to challenge previously established outfits like Fodor’s. Unfortunately, the proliferation of books also fueled a virtual stampede to once remote spots....

A recent Forbes report revealed that Scott — real name Jacques Webster II — earned roughly $20 million from the Fortnite event, a figure that is simply staggering when compared to the Grammy-nominated rapper’s other income streams. For comparison, a single concert from Scott’s Astroworld tour last year grossed around $1.7 million, with the full tour grossing $53.5 million. Meanwhile, his Nike deal earns him about $10 million and his McDonald’s collaboration saw him pocket $5 million from the endorsement part of it, and $15 million from merchandise....

Tommy Thompson was held in contempt of court on December 15, 2015, for not disclosing the whereabouts of the coins, and has been behind bars ever since. The research scientist has been wracking up $1,000 fines for every day he has been imprisoned. Six years of those fines would put his current total around $2.1 million. Thompson discovered the historic shipwreck of the S.S. Central America, also known as the Ship of Gold, in 1988....

Surgery Surgical removal is the treatment of choice for most early-stage colon cancers, but the type of surgery depends on factors like how far the cancer has spread and wherein the colon it is located. There was an error. Please try again. Polypectomy Many early colon cancers (stage 0 and some early stage 1 tumors) and most polyps can be removed during a colonoscopy. During a polypectomy, the cancerous polyp is cut at the stalk using a wire loop instrument that is passed through the colonoscope, which is a long, flexible tube with a camera and light at its tip....

For some patients, GERD can cause erosive esophagitis, a condition that causes inflammation, erosions, and ulcers to form in the esophagus. Erosive esophagitis can be seen with an endoscope—an instrument with a light and a camera on it that allows a healthcare provider to visualize a person’s digestive system. But many people have what is called nonerosive reflux disease, or NERD. With NERD, people experience typical GERD symptoms caused by acid reflux, but they do not have any visible esophageal injury....

Bauer hit three Tigers batters, with one of the pitches being a scary fastball off Ian Kinsler’s head. Instead of making excuses, Bauer apologized after the game. “Want to extend my apologies to the @tigers I hit today. Especially Ian,” he tweeted. “Would never intentionally throw at someone’s head. No place for that.” Bauer’s control issues started in the first inning when he drilled Miguel Cabrera in the left hand....

Restrictions have eased in a number of cities and countries around the globe, but those efforts to get life back to normal may have been a bit premature. In places like New Zealand, which had essentially eliminated the threat of coronavirus thanks to its strict lockdown measures, two brand new cases of the virus have suddenly popped up now that just about every aspect of the country has reopened....

Aulas made it clear no deal has been done to take Ndombele away from Lyon and indicated a preference to keep him, though he acknowledged “the biggest European clubs” are pursuing the midfielder. Tuesday’s arrival of Brazilian youngster Jean Lucas from Flamengo stoked speculation surrounding Ndombele, with Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain understood to be among those keen on signing the 22-year-old. During Jean Lucas’ presentation news conference, Aulas provided an update on Ndombele’s future and even highlighted Lille’s Thiago Mendes as a potential replacement for the midfielder who has emerged as one of Ligue 1’s top players during his two seasons at Lyon....

As well as being a historic occasion in its own right, the match is a battle between last season’s champions and runners-up as they look to assert superiority in the race for the 2017-18 title. Spurs are looking to make it two wins from two, having defeated Newcastle United on the opening weekend, while Chelsea will attempt to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to Burnley. Crucially, however, it is also a meeting of close rivals, meaning that the game will possess a unique dynamic that is absent from other encounters....

The 40-year-old former Italy forward has three goals in 20 appearances this season, although only six of those have been starts. A lifelong association with the capital club has yielded 306 goals and, in an interview with L’Intervista, Totti did not rule out staying on as a player or taking on a boardroom role with Roma. “I’m thinking about my future, I’ve almost made my decision, but I’ll wait for May or June,” he said....

If you had to pick 30 MLB players for a Royal Rumble, who would they be? There’s no shortage of stars out on the open market to fill up the 30-man over-the-top rope battle royale, that’s for sure. With a tear in my eye, I’m sad to announce that Bryce Harper and Manny Machado have yet to sign, which likely amounts to them entering the MLB Rumble at 29 and 30, respectively....

After a remarkable breakaway, Quintana set a new record for the quickest climb of Galibier — the last of three huge peaks in Thursday’s stage — conquering it in 22:28. Though Quintana’s third Tour stage triumph put him into GC contention with two more summit finishes to go before Paris, it was back in the yellow jersey group where the real drama occurred. With Bernal having already made his move, Thomas looked set to be closing in on the yellow jersey when he attacked on Galibier, but Alaphilippe recovered with a fantastic descent, overtaking the Team INEOS rider and Thibaut Pinot....

Alaphilippe leads the General Classification race by one minute and 12 seconds, yet Thomas is his nearest challenger and INEOS teammate Egan Bernal is third, a further four seconds back. Defending champion Thomas believes INEOS is well placed but acknowledges there is a lot of work left to do, particularly with Alaphilippe still boasting a healthy advantage. “We feel we’re in a strong position,” he said. “A combination of everything coming together has helped us get to this point at the first rest day....

In the riveting documentary “Secret Towers of the Himalayas,” directed and narrated by Peissel and scheduled to premiere this week on the Discovery Channel, Darragon shares what she unearthed. The towers, as stunning for their architecture as for their unexpected appearance on the landscape, stand as tall as 60 meters and date back as far as 1,000 years. Some are clustered in peasant villages; others fleck the sweeping, 3,000-meter mountains....
