Harry and fiancé Rachel’s daughter Renee tragically passed away at birth in December, with the 26-year-old claiming he has found new meaning for the word ‘devastation’ after the loss. “I want to try and do her proud,” an emotional Arter said. “I want to try and make my family proud, it’s still pretty raw in a sense that it’s only been just over five months. “I don’t mind talking about her, but of course I want to do her proud....
Leno allowed a Mason Mount cross to pass him by before Jorginho scored Chelsea’s equaliser at Emirates Stadium, cancelling out Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s opener in a game Arsenal dominated before half-time. Arsenal collapsed in the closing stages, with Tammy Abraham sliding Chelsea’s winner through Leno’s legs three minutes from time to ensure Arteta suffered his first defeat since taking charge. Arteta admitted the defeat would affect Leno’s confidence, but called upon his players to look forward to their clash with Manchester United on New Year’s Day....
One such fan who has been putting out excellent Apex Legends concepts is an artist who goes by Wolfdawg on Twitter. In just the last 24 hours he released two pieces of art for the game: A complete overhaul for the defensive character Gibraltar that turns him into a shark wearing a water-filled suit, and a cowboy Western-inspired look for the high-speed offensive character Octane.

Granted, such pieces are the hardest part of a magazine to bring alive, to come up with ideas not by raiding the pages of The New York Times, but out of the thin, zeitgeisty air, marrying subject to writer. With celebrity “journalism,” powerful and strangulating, establishing itself for good in the 1990s, there was less room for editors to take chances. Today, good writers, even great ones, end up doing celebrity profiles....
Cuban mentioned the idea during Verizon Media’s “Reset Your Mindset at Work” online event on Wednesday, a broadcast which highlighted how some companies are providing mental wellness and other support to workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Calling the economic stimulus checks “a band-aid for a wound”, host Julia La Roche asked Cuban about his ideas for healing the damaged economy. Cuban noted that many businesses haven’t been able to pay their employees or generate income because people don’t feel confident about spending at this time of economic uncertainty....
On Tuesday, Pete Arredondo, the chief of the Uvalde Schools Police Department appeared in front of a Texas House of Representatives committee hearing to speak about police response to the shooting incident at the Robb Elementary School, which left 19 students and two teachers dead.

President Joe Biden released a statement Thursday after a phone call with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader (D-N.Y.) Chuck Schumer regarding the final push of the year to get his crowning achievement through the Senate.

On February 15, a bystander filmed a video showing airport police briefly detaining a Black victim of verbal abuse rather than a white woman who was harassing passengers. The footage depicts the white woman walking up to travelers, before reaching to grab a mask worn by the Black woman.

Xbox Cloud Gaming has made it clear its going to expand in 2021. The goal for this year is to continue improving the platforms Cloud Gaming is already playable on, while expanding to new ones. After briefly appearing on iOS and then having to step back, Microsoft wants to get there again. The company believes it’s found a way to do that while working around Apple’s restrictions. Apple intended to charge fees for allowing the Cloud Gaming app to operate on iPhone/iPad....
The bill passed unanimously in the Senate on Tuesday and in the House by a vote of 415 to 14 on Wednesday. It is expected to be signed by President Joe Biden soon, bringing official recognition to the holiday that commemorates the emancipation of slaves following the Civil War.

The “Breyer Retire” effort was launched by the group Demand Justice in April to push the 82-year-old justice to step down so Biden can appoint the first Black woman to the court. Mondaire Jones, a Democratic congressman from New York, was one of the first lawmakers to call on Breyer to abdicate his seat so that another liberal justice can take his place. “There’s no question that Justice Breyer, for whom I have great respect, should retire at the end of this term....
The Delta variant is the dominant strain in the U.S. at present having spread rapidly throughout the nation since it was first detected in March. The highly infectious Lambda variant is also a concern in the U.S. after spreading rampantly in South America. There have also been concerns of further variants emerging, as previously reported by Newsweek. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), suggested that a strain “worse” than Delta could emerge if vaccination numbers do not increase dramatically....
The incoming President put this question to rest in a Washington press conference with Vice-President-elect Richard Cheney. When asked by NBC’s Claire Shipman what he intended to do first as President, Bush stated, “I wanna rock and roll all night.” “And party every day,” Cheney clarified. Bush watchers had expected that the former Texas Governor’s work habits–which include long daily gym sessions and frequent naps–would mean a departure from the Clinton administration’s round-the-clock White House schedule....
“Tactical exercises” will be carried out at firing ranges across nearly every region in Russia’s Southern Military District—the area closest to Ukraine—Russia’s defence ministry said on Tuesday. The exercises will be in the Volgograd and Stavropol regions, news agency Tass reported, as well as Russia’s republics in the North Caucasus, Chechnya and Dagestan, but will not take place in annexed Crimea or other Russian regions that border Ukraine. Around 400 troops will handle 80 pieces of military hardware in the drills which involve T-72B3 main battle tanks, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, as well as anti-tank missile systems and artillery....
It is almost eight months since the signing of the CARES Act, which provided direct Economic Impact Payments to support those struggling financially in the COVID-19 pandemic. Although there has been bipartisan enthusiasm for another round of checks, both among the public and lawmakers, a second set has not been signed off—amid a stalemate in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Internal Revenue Service, tasked with distributing the first round of payments, has warned of fraudsters looking to dupe people about the prospect of further payments—and such situations continue to arise....
Meanwhile, Noel Whelan has advised the Gunners to offload Granit Xhaka and sign a Leicester City midfielder. Elsewhere, Gabriel Agbonlahor says the north London side could be worried that the Gabriel Jesus deal might collapse.

Meanwhile, being at the brink of relegation at a point not very far away in the league, it could be said that Chelsea are at a better position now at 14th place but there continues to be constant pressure on them and their interim manager Guus Hiddink to get the three points as he’d want to bring out a fight from his team and have a few positive results during his interim period....
Tottenham is currently 3rd with 30 points and Arsenal are 5th with 27 points. It is expected to be a goal fest at the Emirates. The ball has found the back of the net a total of 34 times in Premier League history, which is more than any other fixture. Another thing at the back of Emery’s mind would be Arsenal’s dismal performances against Spurs as of late. In the last eight meetings, Arsenal has won only once against Spurs in the Premier League....
Liverpool has maintained throughout the past month that the star forward was not for sale. Despite this, Arsenal made two bids worth £35million and £40m plus £1 respectively, and both these bids were duly rejected by Liverpool. Brendan Rodgers-Manager of Liverpool has been scathing in his attack on Arsenal, even commenting on their apparent lack of class. “I’ve got to say I’ve always associated Arsenal as a club with class and so there was a wee bit of a game there,” he told Daily Mail....
Arsenal had placed a £40million + £1 bid for the Uruguayan forward, which as per Suarez, meets his buyout clause. The Uruguayan has claimed that if the bid is from a club who have qualified for the Champions League, he can ask for a transfer. Liverpool owner John Henry, on the other hand, is stubborn about not selling the club’s star player to Arsenal at any cost. Arsene Wenger said at a press conference: “There is nothing to add to what I said already about the transfer of Suarez....
