The Argentina talisman — widely considered by many to be football’s undisputed GOAT — has already declared that this will be his last dance on the game’s biggest stage. He heads into Qatar 2022 with a glittering list of personal accolades, and trophies for club and country. But the World Cup still eludes the man who finally tasted international success with Argentina at the Copa America last year. First up on his path to the final is a meeting with rank outsiders Saudi Arabia in the Group C opener at the Lusail Stadium on November 22....

Tennessee finished the regular season with a 28-25 win against the Texans and earned the No. 1 seed in the playoffs with a bye week in the wild-card games. The Bengals, on the other hand, finished second and won the team’s first playoff game since 1990. Following Cincinnati’s 26-19 win against Las Vegas in the wild-card game last week, the Bengals were slated to face the Titans on the road....

The Bills are coming off a historical 47-17 win over the Patriots, in which they became the first team in NFL history to go the entire game without punting the ball, kicking a field goal or having a turnover (along with many other records). Josh Allen threw for 308 yards and five touchdowns. The Chiefs are also coming off a dominant 42-21 win over the Steelers. Patrick Mahomes threw for 404 yards and five touchdowns during the game....

For the first time in 18 years, Cleveland is 1-0 thanks to a season-opening win at Carolina. The Browns’ defense frustrated their former quarterback Baker Mayfield in his Panthers debut, allowing just seven points through the first three quarters. Jacoby Brissett didn’t light it up by any means, but he was able to put together a last-minute drive (aided by some controversial refereeing) and rookie kicker Cade York boomed a 58-yard field goal as time expired to give Cleveland the win....

On the other side, you have the Dallas Cowboys, who looked like a juggernaut all throughout December. They went 4-0 with a point differential of +74, with a 56-14 win over the Washington Football Team last week helping that number along. Dak Prescott completed 67 percent of his passes for seven touchdowns and three picks in that span, and he is looking as good as advertised for the Cowboys in recent weeks....

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis named Lagoa to the Florida Supreme Court in January 2019, making her the first Hispanic Woman and the first Cuban American woman to be appointed to the court. In the year before her 1967 Miami birth, her family fled Fidel Castro’s Cuba, where she said her father had been forced to “give up his dream of becoming a lawyer.” “In the country my parents fled, the whim of a single individual could mean the difference between food or hunger, liberty or prison, life or death,” Lagoa said during a press conference with DeSantis....

As we grew up, we were taught a little bit here and there about mucus, a primary booger component. But for most adults, the only part we really seem to remember being taught is “don’t pick your nose, and don’t eat your boogers.” This article digs deeper into the science of boogers, including what they’re made of and why we have them. What Are Boogers? If you think of the nose as an air filter for our body, then boogers are the stuff that gets caught in the filter....

NURBS curves can be used to create the perfect foundation for a number of subjects, tasks, and needs. Instead of tiptoeing delicately around hard edges and sharp points, you’re afforded gentle slopes and organic-feeling graduations, all thanks to the power of math. What Does NURBS Mean? NURBS stands for non-uniform rational B-spline—the B stands for basis. What is a spline, exactly? “Spline” is just a fancy term used to signify abstraction between operators....

Cybercriminals, on the other hand, employ different methods to crack passwords and gain unauthorized access. This includes rainbow table attacks. But what are rainbow table attacks and how dangerous are they? More importantly, what can you do to protect yourself against them? How Are Passwords Stored? No platform or application that takes security seriously stores passwords in plain text. This means that if your password is “password123” (and it absolutely should not be, for obvious reasons), it will not be stored as such, but rather as a combination of letters and numbers....

Though convenient and desirable for consumers, public Wi-Fi poses security and privacy risks. For instance, free Wi-Fi hotspots don’t need authentication to establish a network connection; this makes it easy for hackers to gain access to unprotected devices on the network. So what are the greatest risks you take when you connect to public Wi-Fi networks? 1. Man-in-the-Middle Attacks When you access the internet via Wi-Fi, your device establishes a link with the router or server connecting you to the internet....

BA.5 is a sub-type of the Omicron variant of COVID that has been spreading around the country for months. Since it first started appearing in significant numbers in May, BA.5 has become by far the dominant COVID variant in the country and accounted for an estimated 77.9 percent of sampled cases in the week ending July 16, according to projections from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)....

One such user wrote in a tweet shared thousands of times: “When the penalty for aborting after rape is more severe than the penalty for rape, that’s when you know it’s a war on women.” The legislation, named Senate Bill (SB) 8, essentially ends Roe v. Wade protections in the state. It has been dubbed the Texas “Heartbeat Act” as six weeks is the point at which the fetal heartbeat can first be detected....

As the arena opened and the crowds started to throng in, UFC posted about Florida royalty present in the building. Who is the ‘Florida royalty’ the UFC is talking about? For those who aren’t sure, the man above is Tim Tebow, a former professional football quarterback and former baseball player. The sign he’s making on camera is that of the Florida Gators, the college team where he became the starting quarterback in 2007....

Longtime Capcom fans watching the Exoprimal reveal trailer may have drawn a comparison to another Capcom IP: Dino Crisis. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Capcom’s survival horror and action-adventure series Dino Crisis pitted players against dinosaurs pulled into the modern-day through time travel. Although the franchise has laid dormant for many years, Dino Crisis has managed to retain a following, and many have hoped that Capcom will return to the IP someday....

My wife has a Toshiba netbook (don’t laugh) running Windows 7. When on a menu or a webpage, it will suddenly jump to something else. It seems as though just hovering over an item or link without selecting it will activate it. She uses the pointing device on the netbook, not a mouse. Does this have to do with the pointing device or is it perhaps a feature of Windows 7, with which I am unfamiliar?...

Both teams have proficient goal scorers up front, but Brazil will be considered favorites in just about every match they play this tournament, as they entered the competition tipped as the top side by bookmakres. Serbia, meanwhile, come into the World Cup on a six-match unbeaten streak, scoring 18 goals in that span while conceding just five. Their strike duo of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dusan Vlahovic will strike fear in opposing back lines....
