Washington - US Olympic athletics team is aiming at no less than 30 medals at the upcoming London Games, said coaches Andrew Valmon and Amy Deem.

With 238 wickets in 82 Test matches, Ishant is the most capped player in the longest version and along with Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami would pose challenge for the likes of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow when India face England in the upcoming five Test series, starting August 1. Everybody used to say that India can’t produce fast bowlers. Now we have probably eight to nine good fast bowlers, anytime who can play Test cricket for India....

Mother Teresa was no novelty to me. The reverend mother of the convent where I went to school spoke in that same humble murmur with its slight tang of reproach. She, too, was considered so holy that she did not have to deal with the frustrations of every day. Such living saints make doing good look easy when it is all but impossible. Who can give and never count the cost....

For the latter, the groundswell of fan support only increased after he scored a match-winning 79 runs off 43 balls against RCB. India’s T20I team for the Australian tour was announced in BCCI’s recent tweet (refer below). Soon after they tweeted, the fans as well as the experts started criticizing the BCCI’s decision to not include Suryakumar Yadav in the squad. Here are a few of the comments in that regard:...

Even developers and publishers who have relied on their in-house engines (such as Electronic Arts with Frostbite) have elected to use Epic’s software. To name just a few: BioShock 4, the next Mass Effect game, and even the next Witcher game will all be built on Unreal Engine 5. At the State of Unreal event today, Epic revealed that the engine was officially launched and ready for download. RELATED: New Tomb Raider Announced, Being Made With Unreal Engine 5...

Sweet potatoes are not to be confused with the yam, a root similar in copper flesh, but actually from a different botanical family. The darker and sweeter yams originated from Africa and Southeast Asia. The sweet potato, meanwhile, is native to America. In supermarkets today, sellers use the names interchangeably. Ask your grocer for help distinguishing between the two. “There are significant nutritional differences,” says Jennifer K. Nelson, director of Clinical Dietetics at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn....

When ““Skip’’ Gates arrived to chair the Afro-Am department in 1991, it was an academic wasteland – ““a corpse,’’ he says – with a handful of students and just one professor, who happened to be white. Gates, a literary critic whose prodigious energies have made him a force inside and outside academia, set out to attract a ““dream team’’ of scholars to Cambridge, Mass. Last week the team landed another faculty superstar: sociologist William Julius Wilson, whose writings on race and economics have informed public-policy debate for two decades, is leaving the University of Chicago for Harvard....

I was always scheming to get an extra cinnamon roll or some clothes I just had to have, a few cents here, a buck or two there. All I knew was that I wanted to be just like Grandpa Marvin, who operated a bail bond business and a real estate company out of his houses, ran a floating craps game, and went down to the golf course to sell barbecue to white folks....

Destiny 2 Beyond Light: What we know so far. In the stream, Smith answered a question on how “big” the expansion would be in reality. As per his words, Destiny 2 Beyond Light wouldn’t be as big as the Forsaken expansion. The team is really small at this time, and they’re working from home as well, because of the pandemic. However, when all is said and done, the new expansion is definitely bigger than Shadowkeep....

The leaked list had names of some of the devices which had not been disclosed by the company. Some of the names on the list included the Lumia 910, Lumia 920, Lumia 950 and the Lumia 1001. Though nothing can be said on a guaranteed basis we are assuming that as these devices fall under “Lumia” label these would also run on the Windows Phone OS. Recently, Nokia has joined hands with Microsoft and announced that it will run its new phone Lumia 800 on Windows Phone 8 mobile OS....

The live-service genre is certainly a hot topic in the gaming industry today. In essence, it refers to games which see consistent updates after the official launch. At best, live-service can deliver extras like new options, story, or gear for players to explore over time. At worst, the genre presents a hollow launch product that only gets intermittent and minor fixes afterwards. The model is extremely profitable despite cynicism from gamers, so next generation consoles could be overrun by this format....

For Saina, who was the runner-up at Superseries Finals in 2011, the job has got doubly harder as she is currently in the 11th place in the Destination Dubai Rankings with 40680 points. She now needs to win the Hong Kong Open this week and hope that the 10th ranked Bingjiao pulls out of the tournament. In contrast, the young Chinese has all but sealed her place. She is in the seventh position currently and has 47850 points against her name....
