The Japanese automaker introduced four versions of the new global model last week saying that the high-riding sedan version of the car would be available for sale to U.S. customers.

How does Pogba’s first season measure up? At a recent game, the supporter stepped on one of the seats and though he probably thought he got away with it, the club found out about his misdeed on social media. Appalled by such savage behaviour, they quickly tracked him down and returned him to the scene of the crime. The rapscallion was then told to clean each and every seat in the stadium, not stopping until all 10,000 were spotless....

An incredible amount of savings is now available (in the UK) for gamers willing to part with their copies of EA’s self-professed competitor for the Call of Duty series. While this may be a provocative offering, sure to generate sales for HMV, one has to wonder what kind of a hit HMV will take by acquiring potentially thousands of secondhand games without access to online multiplayer. Having that many used copies with an extra fee tacked on for online access could be an issue going forward, but we can only assume HMV has a plan....

Another market research firm, Gartner (opens in new tab), had a slightly more conservative outlook, estimating a 2.3% increase from the fourth quarter of last year, which would be 0.6% year on year growth from 2018. It’s not all good news for PCs though, as Gartner clarified that while the market as whole is growing, this is being led by business PC demand, in contrast with “the ongoing weakness” of consumer PC demand....

Before enrolling at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, Schroeder attended Louisiana State University at her father’s behest because she received a scholarship. From the proximity to her home in New Orleans to the class sizes, it was never the right fit for her and after someone close to her died, she decided it was time for a change, so she moved to California. In the years since she graduated with a degree in English, Schroeder’s become a household name for any Bravo fan, started a podcast, become a New York Times best-selling author and even created her own holiday, National Outfit of the Day (OOTD) Day....

Almost. As the Bush campaign points out, the president has substantially increased funding for the National Institutes of Health. And of course the senator is a practicing Roman Catholic whose sense of faith appears deep and personal. Yet their positions on both issues speak volumes for their polar-opposite personalities and leadership styles. “Compassion” is what Bush’s aides used to call compassionate conservatism. Back in 2000, the phrase was interpreted to mean some kind of Clintonesque middle ground, with the Texas governor positioning himself as “a different kind of Republican”–one who cared about social issues such as drug addiction and prisoner rehab....

Beckham returns to PSG The Reds have won only one of their last six games in all competitions - an FA Cup third-round replay against fourth-tier Plymouth Argyle - hampering their chase of Chelsea in the Premier League and leaving them with a 1-0 deficit to Southampton in the EFL Cup semi-finals. Defensive lapses were to blame for Swansea’s first and third goals at Anfield on Saturday, while Joel Matip has been a sore loss to the Reds as the farcical situation over his international retirement was allowed to drag on by FIFA....

The Zapper was available in the “Nintendo Action Set” that contained the NES console, the Zapper, and the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt multicart. It could also be purchased on its own. The design of the NES Zapper was meant to resemble a futuristic science fiction ray gun, making this pairing with the leader of the Decepticons an excellent combo. However, the original design of the Zapper was still a little too close to resembling a real gun, so when the US passed the Federal Toy Gun Law in 1988, the gun was redesigned with an orange grip and barrel....

Alexis Ellis, a 40-year-old transgender woman with cerebral palsy, believes her gender identity and disability made her a target for unfair scrutiny after she took a job with the company in late 2019. Within a few months of starting, Ellis said she hurt her wrist on the job, which prompted a months-long ordeal of bullying and harassment that only ended when she was fired at the end of 2020....

The researchers examined the use of what are known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogues (GnRH analogues). Also known as puberty blockers, these drugs suppress hormones made by the body to help stop physical changes which can be distressing for some trangender children. The effects of the drugs are reversible if a child stops taking them. The drugs were developed over the past two decades to help transgender adolescents align their bodies with their gender identities, explained the authors of the paper published in the journal Pediatrics....

However, Skyrim’s dragon language is not only used by dragons. The “word walls” containing the draconic phrases of power are often around gravesites. Throughout Skyrim, notable figures have their graves marked by script in the dragon language. So, not only is this language full of potent magic, but it’s also very important for various significant figures in the world. While dragons make appearances in other Elder Scrolls games, their presence is most obviously felt throughout Skyrim....

Recency bias has a stronger impact on newer players. The optimal way to leverage this is by targeting premier golfers who flopped and burnt those who bought in on them at the U.S. Open, as the best long-term players are always the likeliest to bounce back with the most authority. MORE ROTOQL: Lineup Builder | Travelers Championship betting advice *If you are interested in taking your DFS golf lineup building strategy to the next level, you should consider using a lineup optimizer, and RotoQL offers the best optimizer available in the industry....

Humorist Robert Benchley said there are two kinds of travel–“first class, or with children.” But that distinction is fast disappearing. With more money, more energy and more leisure time than ever, growing numbers of grandparents are traveling with their grandchildren, says Tom Frenkel of the National Tour Association, and many join escorted trips. The idea is “definitely catching on–for several good reasons,” says Dorothy Jordon, publisher of the newsletter Family Travel Times....

The trade was completed just over an hour after it was announced the Maple Leafs were acquiring defenseman Mark Giordano from the Kraken. Given the potential return of Jake Muzzin from injury and the acquisition of Giordano, Dermott was looking at being one of the odd men out in Toronto.
