Man of the Match of the third ODI, Glenn Maxwell, caused an upheaval among fans after hinting at the possibility of a certain mindset in Indian players. “They were probably just making sure they got to a milestone. Some people are milestone driven, some people aren’t,” the Aussie batsman said. “If you’re milestone driven and it means that much to you, then go for it. But it’s not been something that’s really driven me too much....
Gliomas make up the largest group of primary brain tumors. There are several kinds of gliomas: astrocytomas, which grow anywhere in the brain or spinal cord; brain stem gliomas, which arise in the lowest part of the brain; ependymomas, which develop deep inside the brain, in the lining of the ventricles, and oligodendrogliomas, which usually grow in the cerebrum (very rare, representing just 3% of all primary brain tumors). An advanced astrocytoma is called glioblastoma; these represent 23% of all primary brain tumors....
Global health organizations like the United Nations (UN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have spoken of goals to decrease the impact of HIV around the world. One goal is to achieve three zeros by 2030: zero new HIV cases, zero AIDS-related deaths, and zero discrimination. HIV disproportionately impacts low- and middle-income countries. Of the 4,500 people who contract HIV every day in the world, 59% live in sub-Saharan Africa....
The events surrounding the World Trade Organization conference in Seattle have engaged me in the debate about labor rights (“The Battle of Seattle,” National Affairs, Dec. 13). I am fearful that not only the WTO, but also our government, is strongly swayed by business interests when making decisions that affect us all. Just as I am wary that U.S. delegates to the WTO may not have my interests as a worker at heart, I also wonder if delegates from other nations are truly watching out for the poor and powerless in their respective countries....
Goal 50: The best footballers of 2016 Gnabry has been one of the revelations of the Bundesliga following his move from Arsenal to Werder and netted a hat trick on his Germany debut last week. The 21-year-old is eager to learn from his colleagues, while Belgium star Hazard is one of the players he regularly watches in order to improve his own game. “Hazard is world class, he is amazing,” Gnabry told Sport Bild....
Generation X has gone X-patriate. In fact, more and more young Yanqui professionals like Haase prefer to be thought of as Generation Dos XX, after the popular Mexican beer. Underwhelmed with their prospects in a downsizing United States, they are looking to Mexico as a land of opportunity. The eight-month-old North American Free Trade Agreement has already raised U.S.-Mexico trade by 20 percent, and the consulting firm KPMG Peat Marwick recently reported that more than a quarter of the 1,036 U....
Here’s all you need to know about the tournament: Format and age groups: The cup tournament will be held in four age categories - U-11, U-13, U-15, U-17 for boys, and two categories - U-13, U-15 for girls. The boys’ U-13 and U-17 matches will be 11 vs. 11 and the rest will be seven-a-side matches. Teams will be set up in groups of four and the top two teams from each group will qualify for the knockout stages....
This makes sense, given what counts as predictive value in an otherwise highly random sport. Possessing the puck — specifically by controlling the neutral zone via successful defensive zone exits and offensive zone entries — should be a highly sought-after trait. Performances that have been inflated or deflated by extreme percentages in either direction should be cause for further investigation and potentially skepticism. Travis Yost highlighted a practical application of this by noting that we should be highly skeptical of players that have made their bones riding cushy shooting percentages....
“It feels great to be back. It was difficult in India. I always wanted to be here and play. I am happy I can do that again,” Aditi told IANS over phone from London on Saturday.

In case you didn’t know… Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated the football landscape in the last decade, with the pair winning the Ballon d’Or award five times apiece. Both players have, therefore, often divided opinion among fans when it comes to picking the best player in this generation. Indeed, while some prefer Messi, others also believe Ronaldo is the better player, as the debate continues to rumble on....
Minecraft Caves and Cliffs update is changing the caves and mountains forever. Goats are the third new mob to come to the caves and cliffs update. These passive mobs live in mountain biomes and naturally spawn in groups of two to three. They climb mountains by jumping up to 10 blocks high.

God of War was originally released on the PlayStation 2 in 2005. In this first entry, Kratos seeks vengeance against Ares, the God of War who tricked Kratos into murdering his own family.

Since the God of War franchise is so popular, it’s no surprise that Kratos has popped up elsewhere from time to time. Kratos is a PlayStation 3 exclusive DLC fighter for Mortal Kombat 9, and he also appeared in 2012’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as a key member of that game’s roster. For those who may not remember PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, it was essentially the PlayStation-equivalent of Super Smash Bros....

The highly anticipated addition of new game plus was announced earlier this month, and launches exactly four months after the game’s official release back in April. In addition to the option to start from the beginning of the story, God of War’s newest campaign mode allows players to retain all of the gear, talismans, runics, weapons, and skills they’ve collected on their original playthrough. This in turn leads to numerous changes to combat, with enemies now having altered attack patterns when fighting Kratos, and new in-game challenges to tackle such as timed realm tear encounters....
