At least two witnesses remembered Chauvin at least grabbing for his Mace, and a 17-year-old remembers him brandishing it at the crowd. Chauvin is the first of four officers to be tried in connection with Floyd’s death and if convicted of his most serious charge, he faces up to forty years in prison. A 17-year-old witness, who gave her cellphone to her friend to film the encounter, said the officers were “really hostile” towards the people who gathered....

When Paul Coschignano’s mother mentioned that her ears were hurting due to hours wearing a facemask as she works in the health care industry, he set to work to provide a solution. The 13-year-old, who lives in Eastchester, New York, had seen something on the internet about headbands that can relieve the pressure and irritation that some experience when the elastic bands on facemasks rub against the thin skin behind the ear....

Suddenly, HBO is facing the biggest crisis of its 35-year history. The powerhouse cable network is losing its captain and the jewel of its fleet at roughly the same time, but the widespread sentiment in Hollywood is that Albrecht is the far greater blow. “He built HBO,” says one top television agent, who asked not to be identified because he has business ties with the network. “Losing ‘The Sopranos’ is like losing a limb....

The first chapter of Tell Me Why gave players a few collectibles such as the Mad Hunter, as Alyson and Tyler try to piece together the circumstances around their mother’s death ten years ago. With memories and these special collectibles paving the way, these characters will have a trip down memory lane that will overturn what they thought they knew about the incident.

Many projects that were in the works at Telltale Games were canceled when the studio closed down, if not beforehand. While The Wolf Among Us 2 was revived, there has been little news on whether the studio will be able to finish its Stranger Things title. Perhaps one of the biggest blows was the cancellation of the second season of Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series. The first season was received decently by fans and many wanted to see the adventures of House Forrester continue, but it seems there are currently no plans for a second season....

Rogan’s podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience, has been the focus of much controversy in recent weeks over his move to welcome guests onto the show who shared controversial and some say misinformative takes on the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The backlash led to Neil Young issuing Spotify with an ultimatum last week that he would remove his music from the streaming giant if they didn’t get rid of the show. Spotify did not yield to the legendary musician’s demand and his catalog has been taken down....

In 2020, the Saints’ quarterback became the first player since 1999 to record at least 90 passing, rushing and receiving yards in a single season. For his career, he has 1,103 passing yards 913 rushing yards and 388 receiving yards, making him only the 13th player in history to have at least 1,000, 900 and 300 yards in the three categories, respectively. And now, he’s set to remain in a Saints’ uniform for a few more years after he signed an extension on Monday....

When Tan Cheng Hoe was at the helm at Kedah, his side were unanimously anointed within the country as the team that plays the most eye-catching brand of football, with their intricate short and quick passing style. The question on everyone’s mind is whether this will be translated to the national team now that Tan has taken over the head coach role from Eduardo Vingada. The immediate friendly match against Mongolia on Thursday will be the stage for the first trial to be tried....

How to Teach Siri to Pronounce a Name When Siri mispronounces a name, immediately tell it, “That’s not how you say that.” It will ask you to pronounce the name and offer you a choice of pronunciations. As an alternative, you can give a contact a phonetic spelling to help Siri out. Open the Contacts app and select the entry you want to edit. Select Edit at the top of the screen....

Chasteen (@mr_chasteen101) posted a video to his TikTok account last week, in which he said: “I told my students I’ll cancel our last test if a pro sports team commented.” “Will their Christmas wish come true?” he asked in the post’s caption. The video has racked up more than 54 million views and over 8 million likes. The post also garnered more than 168,000 comments from major brands, musicians and, to his students’ delight, professional sports teams....

Hockey Canada announced its final 25-man roster that will participate in the tournament taking place in Edmonton. While there are plenty of familiar names, Canada is lacking some of its true star power it had in December when the games originally were slated to take place. Notable names that are not participating in the competition in August are forwards Cole Perfetti, Jake Neighbours, Dylan Guenther and Shane Wright, as well as defensemen Owen Power and Kaiden Guhle....

With a good Medic, the team would always be victorious in the exchange of gunfire.

While Mario is known for dabbling in every genre imaginable and delivering an engaging and memorable experience, Sonic the Hedgehog’s experiences with spin-offs have been a mixed bag - especially when the series is trying to emulate one of Mario’s past successes. While Mario Kart is arguably as recognizable as the mainline Mario games, the most popular Sonic-related racing game is a Sega crossover. There is an actual Sonic kart racer, Team Sonic Racing, but that game divided fans with many feeling underwhelmed....

Wonder Woman 1984 DC movies have struggled a bit of late, especially when compared to the all-conquering output from Marvel Studios, but the one shining light was the excellent Wonder Woman movie released in 2017. Now, Gal Gadot returns to the titular role, as the story leaves behind WW1 and goes into the neon drenched lands of 1984. Chris Pine is literally resurrected to play Steve Trevor (although from the trailer we’re not exactly sure how) and together they face mysterious high-power businessman Maxwell Lord....

A few caveats, though, before you jump on your computer to look for Teri Hatcher. Since nothing is really free in TV land, the streaming episodes come with mandatory commercials. Still, they’re much shorter than regular TV commercials: usually less than two minutes per 40 minutes of content. The episodes don’t go online until the day after they’ve aired and stay up temporarily. You can’t play them on portable devices, like video iPods (which is why iTunes still comes in handy)....

That’s where inventor Niro Nakamichi comes in. His Niro 1.1 Pro system ($799 at www.niro1.com) consists of a single front speaker, subwoofer and DVD player. But when we tried it, the sound seemed to come from five discrete locations–something that normally requires a true multichannel speaker system. While home-theater buffs probably won’t replace their 5.1 systems any time soon, it’s a great solution for those who want to be surrounded by sound, not wires....

The Republican took to Twitter on Thursday and highlighted a moment in Biden’s interview where he was discussing the fact that no Americans have been killed in Afghanistan amid efforts to bring them home and knocked on a wooden table. Knocking on wood for good luck is a relatively common superstition that Biden has referenced in the past but Cruz took issue with it and called on the president to get Americans out of the country following the Taliban takeover....

At least to this point, little is known about the title, outside of what was showcased in an action-packed trailer. With many details about the game still shrouded in mystery, both the imaginations and expectations of fans have kicked into overdrive after viewing the minute-and-a-half teaser.
