A duo that connected on 113 passes for 1,373 yards and nine touchdowns in its first year together was struggling, again, in a late-season game to get in sync. The Vikings never found their rhythm, again, against that daunting Chicago defense. The latest flop by this expensive and decorated offense sealed their fate as a team that didn’t make the playoffs, following a 24-10 defeat by the Bears on Sunday....
But the Brazil international’s intention - from a deeper midfield position - to ensure Sunday’s game at the London Stadium belonged to Liverpool and him had been signalled much earlier. Soon after kick off, he was harrying Slaven Bilic’s side out of possession, clearing one of the hosts’ early breaks to set the Reds on the counter. Coutinho was demanding to be fed at every opportunity, and on more than one occasion, instructed the full-backs to give him an extra outlet....
Ron Gutman, a Stanford University adjunct professor, health care entrepreneur and co-founder of Intrivo—a U.S. firm that developed the On/Go rapid COVID test—said China’s secrecy regarding the sharing of health data poses a danger to the world. He is calling for the development of a more robust global pandemic prediction and surveillance system that would be able to identify dangerous new pathogens or virus variants earlier, before they can cause widespread outbreaks....
In an article published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, Dr. Jeremy Samuel Faust of Harvard Medical School’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dr. Carlos del Rio of Emory University School of Medicine explained why it is misleading to compare the COVID-19 death toll in the U.S. so far with the seasonal death toll of flu. Instead, they argue, weekly figures are a better point of comparison. “Yet public officials continue to draw comparisons between seasonal influenza and SARS-CoV-2 [coronavirus] mortality, often in an attempt to minimize the effects of the unfolding pandemic,” they wrote....
The patients at Ramon y Cajal University Hospital in the Spanish capital of Madrid were diagnosed with the coronavirus which causes COVID-19, and had dermatology appointments between March 30 to April 8, 2020. The findings were published as a research letter in the journal JAMA Dermatology. The researchers found six (29 percent) of the patients had some form of enanthem in their mouths. These patients were aged between 40 to 69-years-old, and four (66 percent) were women....
However, news is now surfacing that the pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer and German partner BioTech have created a vaccine for COVID-19 that is proving 90 percent effective. As a result, stock shares in video game companies across the market have started to drop rapidly.

Breakthrough cases, in which a fully-vaccinated person still ends up catching COVID, have made headlines recently with some restaurants having to close due to infections among vaccinated staff. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told NBC on Sunday it is “very clear” the U.S. needs to step up COVID testing when asked if the country was doing enough to track breakthrough cases....
Education technology, also known as edtech, delivers lessons less expensively than in-person instruction, amounting to a roughly 80 percent decline in per-student cost, according to a study published in Science Advances, a peer-reviewed journal. Adult students, military personnel, foreign students stranded by the pandemic have also found new learning opportunities. The research firm Insight Partners projects that the edtech industry will grow to $234 billion by 2027, a 15.3 percent increase compared with 2020....
The patient died from complications relating to multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) while being treated at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. They suffered from a “complex, preexisting cardiac condition,” a hospital spokesperson said. The case is believed to mark the first COVID-related death of a child in the county, the Los Angeles Times reported. The hospital public relations team said no further details could be made public at this time due to rules surrounding patient privacy....
In the anime, though Faye has a bold personality, her appearance makes it clear that her visual presence is simply for the sake of sex appeal. Her name alone indicates that her original purpose was to have sexual and romantic appeal, being inspired by a love song. Even in the Cowboy Bebop anime, though she looks about 23, Faye is 77. This alone creates plot holes around her character’s costume because no 77-year-old woman would put herself through the uncomfortable misery of wearing that outfit....
Brice Butler confirmed Tuesday on Twitter that he had been traded from the Raiders to the Cowboys ahead of their NFC East matchup against the Eagles in Week 2. MORE: Five reasons Dallas can survive without Dez | Week 2 fantasy WR rankings The 6-3, 215-pound Butler, a seventh-round pick in 2013 out of San Diego State, had 30 catches for 383 yards and two touchdowns in two seasons with the Raiders....
The Cowboys are lacking a true replacement for departed No. 1 wideout Dez Bryant. None of their newcomers — Allen Hurns, Deonte Thompson or rookie Michael Gallup — is the downfield threat that is Gordon. The Patriots, with Julian Edelman serving a four-game suspension to open the season, have shuffled through options behind Chris Hogan, Phillip Dorsett and Cordarrelle Patterson. Whether Cleveland trades or releases Gordon, Dallas or New England is a good bet vs....
Muhammad Ali was a hero of humanity and style mostly after the fact. On April 16, 1947, Arthur Daley of the New York Times dubbed Jackie Robinson’s debut a “quite uneventful” affair.

Dallas will face the Rams in Los Angeles on Saturday after topping the Seahawks in the wild-card round. Elliott rushed for 137 yards and a touchdown against Seattle but said he does not focus on his individual performance, especially in the playoffs. “Stats – I don’t think they really matter,” Elliott told reporters on Tuesday. “The regular season is over, it’s a whole different ball game. This is playoff football....
Dallas per usual will have six tricky games against Philadelphia, Washington and New York in the East. But it also must face every team from the NFC West and AFC North once this season as part of the interdivisional rotation. The Cowboys, after being stuck mostly around .500 with a few spikes, finally made a coaching change from Jason Garrett to Mike McCarthy. Garrett finished 85-67 in his 10 years with the Cowboys, making the playoffs three times in his tenure....
The Warriors are unbeaten so far in the tournament, having won both their matches on the back of disciplined bowling performances. Keemo Paul was the pick of the bowlers in their first match while Rayad Emrit and Imran Tahir led the successful defense of a below-par 141 against the St. Lucia Stars. Shoaib Malik’s captaincy has been impressive, but he is due runs and would be keen to make a mark against his former franchise....

For those who are uninitiated in the world of Crash Bandicoot, this metal box is literally the object Crash activates to serve as a checkpoint in his original platforming titles remastered via the Crash Bandicoot N.

There has never been an indication that these crates are sentient, nor capable of operating a vehicle, yet players can now use it as a racer if they find and break the “Beenox crates” hidden in every track....
