FIFA announced in 2018 that the joint bid of the United States, Mexico and Canada would host the 2026 World Cup, and since then cities and venues have submitted their final proposals for hosting matches during the big event. While FIFA is not expected to announce what cities will host which stage of competition just yet, the list of stadiums and cities will be cut to a final list of about 16....

He wasn’t the grown-up version of himself influenced by Hollywood that we had come to know in recent years, nor was he portraying the kid-friendly goofy persona. Instead, Cena appeared in the rapping gimmick that he had first gotten himself noticed with, offering a fun and a highly offbeat throwback to over a decade before. Cena is not the only wrestler to have worked in a different gimmick at a different point in his career....

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev brought up PFOF in Thursday’s hearing, following a question from Oklahoma Congressman Frank D. Lucas about how Robinhood and other brokers generate revenue. Tenev also mentioned PFOF in his prepared remarks for the hearing, which were released online in advance of his appearance before the House Financial Services Committee. “As disclosed to customers and the public, Robinhood Securities receives what is called ‘payment for order flow’ to route trades to market makers that generally offer better prices than those available on exchanges,” Tenev’s prepared statement reads....

Because the lunar phases do not synchronize perfectly with the widely used Gregorian calendar, every 32 months or so, two new moons—the opposite of a full moon—appear in a single calendar month. The second of these is sometimes referred to as a “black moon,” although this is not an official astronomical term. The opposite of a black moon is a “blue moon”—when two full moons appear in a single calendar month....

President Joe Biden made the strategy abundantly clear last week when he excoriated all conservatives as terrorists in his Philadelphia speech, shaking his fists while illuminated in red as if standing at the gates of hell, yelling at anyone who disagrees with him that they are evil. “Anyone who calls for the use of violence and refuses to acknowledge an election has been won,” Biden intoned last week, “that is a threat to democracy....

Beyonce and Jay-Z are a well-known power couple, as are Barack and Michelle Obama. Basically, you’re both killing it on your own—but you’re practically unstoppable together. When you think of a power couple, you might imagine two doctors or a doctor and a politician. However, two working artists could be a power couple, or a writer and an engineer. What matters is how you’re performing in your job. Take classes to develop a skill, like cooking or painting....

How to Tell if You Need a Wheel Alignment Your car will let you know if you need a wheel alignment based on how difficult it is to steer in a straight line, the patterns of wear on the tires, and more. Here are some key signs that you may need to get your wheels aligned before you can safely drive again. Does Your Car Pull Left or Right?

For example: Here is a glimpse of de Villiers’ wagon wheel during his record-breaking 44-ball 149 against West Indies in Johannesburg. Now, let us take a look at five interesting thoughts that go inside a bowler’s mind when he goes through de Villiers’ confounding wagon wheel. (Disclaimer: As you would probably guess upon reading the article, this feature is meant to be taken in a lighter vein and intended purely for humorous purposes....

The Beatles Resurface So the Beatles say they’ve unearthed a long-lost song from the “Yellow Submarine” sessions. Forget that “Yellow Sub” is the Beatles’ worst album and that it’s painful to imagine a song that wasn’t good enough to make the cut. Rumor has it that the new song is just a different take of the cute rocker “Hey Bulldog.” After all, the Beatles’ archives were scoured for the Abbey Road “Sessions” book and again for the “Beatles Anthology....

Kampa was living in Nashville with her husband and two dogs Eddie and Georgie. She worked as a writing and poetry teacher in Nashville. There were unverified reports of her passing away in a car accident, but it wasn’t until Anderson confirmed the reports that the world found out. “Always will be my dream girl”: Courtney Kampa’s death confirmed by husband Musician Wil Anderson took to his Instagram handle @willyj1234 to announce the news of his wife’s death, although he did not mention the cause....

Mexico needed to get a point against Sweden and win the group. Sure, after wins against Germany and Korea, it would’ve been nice for manager Juan Carlos Osorio to be able to make big changes and rest some regulars. He did the opposite. The change-happy manager went with the same team that won the second game. It all got so complicated. Mexico went into the halftime break feeling good. After a nervous opening 10 minutes, which saw left back Jesus Gallardo issued the fastest booking in World Cup history, things settled down....

Typically seen as more of a background player, Rasputin has been involved in the series to some capacity since the original Destiny campaign. It wouldn’t be until 2018’s Warmind expansion for Destiny 2 that Rasputin would be given a bigger role as players allied with Ana Bray to defeat the Hive and their Wormgod Xol on Mars to stave off their attack on the AI’s Core. Following the surprising return of the Rasputin into the spotlight, the big question on most player’s minds has been what the AI Warmind has been up to these past two years....

Five Nights at Freddy’s, created by Scott Cawthorn, is a first-person “jumpscare” video game independently released in 2014. The premise, in which the player plays as a security guard tasked with overseeing Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria and its murderous animatronic occupants overnight, served as the perfect game for the then-growing trend of streaming gameplay online. Countless videos of streamers screaming into their mics and flailing from their desk chairs have been uploaded and viewed firmly establishing FNAF into the online world....

But they’re starting to. The revised Little Red comes amid a typhoon of concern over the effects of media violence, particularly on the psyches of the youngest kids. Last fall, in back-to-back salvos from the Clinton administration, Attorney General Janet Reno warned television executives to curb primetime blood-and-guts or risk having limits imposed; then Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders urged parents to “think twice” before buying a toy gun for a child....

When the Marvel Cinematic Universe took inspiration from the comics anthology What If…? series for the new Disney Plus series, plenty of fans wondered if specific comic book scenarios might come into play. The latest episode of the series seems to take inspiration from one comic book universe in particular: Marvel Zombies. In the comics, a portal to a zombie universe causes the infection of the inhabitants of the main universe, and the results aren’t so different here as the episode details a very different look at the MCU than fans are used to....

A face mask brackets keeps a mask from resting directly on top of the mouth and skin. Essentially, it serves as a barrier between your mask and your skin. Some say the bracket helps prevent acne caused by prolonged mask-wearing. Others say it can prevent lipstick from smudging while wearing a mask. A search on the web for “face mask brackets” turns up dozens of videos, from teachers explaining how they use the brackets for a full day of teaching to YouTubers using the tool as a hack for keeping makeup in place....

The flash flood watch affects roughly 23 million people and goes into effect from late Monday into early Tuesday. It covers an area from southern Connecticut all the way to the Jersey Shore, including New York City and the surrounding areas. Forecasters say a low-pressure weather system in the Midwest is moving towards the Northeast and will intensify by late Monday, likely resulting in heavy rain and potentially flash flooding....

Causes of Achilles Tendon Rupture The exact cause of Achilles tendon rupture is hard to say. It can happen suddenly, without warning, or following an Achilles tendonitis. It seems that weak calf muscles may contribute to problems. An Achilles tendon rupture is more likely when the force on the tendon is greater than the strength of the tendon. This can occur when the foot is dorsiflexed while the lower leg moves forward and the calf muscles contract....

The process of ASMR requires someone else to provide these sensations for a person, mainly through sounds produced in a specific way. It can have benefits, including stress reduction. However, it also is not something that works for everyone, which can be due to a number of factors. We consulted experts in the field on what ASMR actually is, how it works, and why some people don’t feel the benefits....

Less than 24 hours after Manchester City won their fourth Premier League title in five seasons, new Manchester United manager Ten Hag met members of the media at his first news conference in the role. The former Ajax boss attended United’s limp season-ending defeat at Crystal Palace on Sunday, but he sought to strike a positive tone. “I don’t see this as a risk,” he replied when asked whether trying to restore United to their considerable former glories put a carefully crafted reputation on the line....
