It all sounds very depressing, but thankfully, there is a solution. And no, we’re not talking about Futurama-esque heads in glass jars. You just need to keep your brain active through reading, chess, crosswords, or any other creative endeavor. If that all sounds too much like hard work, however, there is a shortcut—CogniFit. The company’s premium brain training package is designed to promote and encourage the general state of cognitive health....

It will be his 18th appearance in the league’s showcase game. And while he’s had some great moments over the years, his first one may be among the most memorable. MORE: Classic photos of Kobe Bryant The afro’d 19-year-old wasn’t even a starter on his Lakers team when he was voted in by the fans to the 1998 All-Star game. On the opposite end of the spectrum was a soon-to-be 35-year-old Michael Jordan, who many suspected would be playing his last All-Star game....

There is no clear favourite to win the iconic Rumble match yet, with superstars like Goldberg, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman and Chris Jericho having already thrown their hats into the mix. Multiple storylines intersect at the Rumble and the road to Wrestlemania becomes clearer in its aftermath. With the last weeks of January being the traditional date for the Royal Rumble over the years, it is no surprise that today’s edition of ‘This day…’ includes two Rumble matches held on January 22....

Ryder’s name (players will be able to choose Ryder’s first name, as is typical of Mass Effect titles) was previously discovered by fans that dissected a trailer released for the game back in November. Regardless of some fans already figuring out Ryder’s name, though, one would think that the official confirmation of the name of the successor to the iconic Commander Shepard would be big news. Apparently EA disagrees with that sentiment, as the company made no mention of the name of Mass Effect: Andromeda’s main character during its E3 2016 presentation....

Unlike Washington’s cherry tree, Franklin’s kite was real. His experiments with electricity made him one of the great scientists of his day. He was a middle-class business-man whose success as a printer and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42–and in notably un-Babbitt-like fashion, he devoted the rest of his life to his city and his country. He was the diplomat who persuaded the French to back the American Revolution and the author of the first great American autobiography....

Sony could also capitalize on those without one. PS Plus subscribers who don’t have a PSVR unit could be swayed further to purchase one if they see a backlog of PSVR games waiting for them on their PS4 queue. Even if adding a PSVR game every month seems like the obvious thing for Sony to do, it wouldn’t be the first time it had tried to do so. Previous months in PS Plus’ history indicate a few other attempts at getting PSVR some representation on the service’s monthly game additions....

This mid-century modern home in Portland, Oregon, may look ordinary from the outside, but inside is every beer lover’s dream. 3333 NE 135th Avenue not only includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a deck, but comes with its own party room—complete with a vintage beer can collection. (Check out the full listing here). The collection includes roughly 1,000 cans from a range of breweries. After the realtor held an open house for the multi-level home on Saturday 26 March, the impressive collection became the talk of the neighborhood, with the beer cans included in the sale of the property....

Veteran coach Jupp Heynckes has led an impressive revival for the Bundesliga champions since Carlo Ancelotti’s sacking in September but a long-term appointment remains on the agenda for 2018-19 and beyond at the Allianz Arena. Klopp was a thorn in the side of Bayern during his celebrated tenure at Borussia Dortmund, winning back-to-back Bundesliga titles in 2010-11 and 2011-12. He completed the domestic double by hoisting the DFL-Pokal in the latter season....

Ten of the Republicans who voted against Greene included John Katko, Chris Jacobs and Nicole Malliotakis of New York; Young Kim of California; Carlos A. Giménez of Florida; Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida; Chris Smith of New Jersey; Fred Upton of Michigan; Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. Kinzinger, in particular, has become a vocal critic of Greene, accusing her rhetoric of inspiring anti-government insurrectionists. While House Democrats clamored for Greene to be removed from her assignments to the House Committee on Education and Labor and the House Budget Committee, stating that the influential seats legitimize her extremist views, it was initially unclear how many Republicans would side with the Democrats....

Researchers writing in Science found that Plains spadefoot toads actively opted to breed with Mexican spadefoot males when the climate was right in order to birth fitter offspring. This stands in contrast to conventional wisdom that views hybridization as a maladaptive behavior producing less viable offspring. Think of donkey-horse hybrids (or mules), which are typically infertile. “Basic biology classes teach that different species usually cannot interbreed successfully and that rarely produced crossbred offspring (hybrids) are often infertile or of lower fitness,” Professor Marlene Zuk, American evolutionary biologist and behavioral ecologist, said in an accompanying editorial....

The United States is preparing for the possibility that a surge in coronavirus cases could overwhelm the health care system. To help prevent that from happening, officials have prohibited large gatherings and encouraged people to stay home whenever possible and practice social distancing. However, not having to go into an office, being barred from the gym and virtually all entertainment venues, and having time to follow the news can lead to behaviors that may add to the strain on the health care system....

A few weeks later, Lee was named Samsung’s chief customer officer–a first step, observers say, toward taking the helm. The move highlighted a paradox at the heart of South Korea’s booming business culture. Its conglomerates are vigorously modernizing, adopting cutting-edge practices and spreading operations around the world; Samsung, for example, now earns 90 percent of its $57 billion in annual sales overseas. Yet the very leaders, like Lee, who are speeding the process forward are taking power in the most traditional–some say backward–way: they’re getting their jobs from their dads....

Gambhir noted the importance of planning, especially in tournaments like these. India fell to tame defeat in their first two contests in the Super 12s where their approach was heavily criticized. While writing for his column in the Times Of India, Gambhir wrote: Team India’s top order woes against left-arm seam bowling is well documented. The top three did not fare well against the likes of Shaheen Afridi and Trent Boult....

While horror fans might check out The Rake hoping to see a fascinating movie about a monster who gives them nightmares, there isn’t much that is scary about this film. The creature in this movie is one of the worst of the genre. RELATED: Hot Take: 5 Beloved Horror Movies That Are Overrated There are many horror movies based on Creepypasta stories, and the 2018 horror movie The Rake is also adapted from one of these scary tales....

FSU was ranked No. 2, and was eight spots ahead of No. 10 Notre Dame. Now, fast-forward to this week: TCU has a significantly better schedule than Baylor, yet lost to the Bears on the road on a last-second field goal. TCU is ranked No. 4 in this week’s College Football Playoff poll, and Baylor is No.7. Any of this make sense? Didn’t think so. The best part of this now-spectacular mess is this new, everything-will-be-better playoff is no better than the BCS....

Napoli, coming into the game four points behind Juventus, were blown away by Giovanni Simeone, who drew an early red card from Kalidou Koulibaly and then scored a hat-trick. The Partenopei had no response but, with his team having recovered similar situations so many times before, Sarri insisted their effort could not be questioned. “It was a bad performance that we will analyse thoroughly and try to redeem immediately,” he said....

The Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2022 includes over 1,600 universities from 99 countries based on 13 performance indicators evaluating teaching, research, knowledge transfer and international outlook. While the University of Oxford took the top spot for a sixth consecutive year, the U.S. is now the most represented country on the list, with 57 of the top 200 institutions. California Institute of Technology rose from fourth place in last year’s ranking to come joint second with Harvard University, which was ranked in third place last year....
