Puller’s life and death touched millions, in part because he bore the name of his late father, a Marine general who retired in 1955 as the most decorated soldier in the history of the corps. Puller, with a different kind of military distinction thrust on him, did not shy from its burdens. “He was monstrously disfigured,” says Sen. Bob Kerrey, who met him in the Philadelphia naval hospital where they were both recuperating....

Death Stranding continues this trend in full force, as the following ten quotes will prove. A couple of these are from late in the game or revolve around certain plot points, so be wary of spoilers going forward.

But you’re not, so be proud of those tracks, they’re proof you existed....

In an interview with Japanese publication Dengeki, Kojima revealed that Death Stranding has already “surpassed the experiment phase.” The development team at Kojima Productions is now “feeling the response to the new gameplay.” Kojima explains that compared to the games industry overall, “normally it would take about 3 to 5 years to develop a game with everything already prepared beforehand: organization, human resources, game system, engine, tools, etc.” However, because the development team prepared all of this in parallel with production on the game, the team is “proceeding smoothly” with its schedule....

Week 31 of the Premier League season and after two weeks of shocking decisions in almost every game, we had a week where there weren’t all that many debatable decisions to discuss. However, despite the lack of dodgy decisions, there were plenty that we marked as incorrect and one or two game-changing ones at that. I wonder how Martin O’Neill felt about that Gardner penalty shout when he was told to leave the Stadium of Light!...

But amidst the global threat that is Xi Jinping’s modern, hegemonic Chinese Communist Party, perhaps now is the time to revisit those 1970s-era decisions. Should the U.S. now formally establish relations with Taiwan—or would doing so risk an unprecedented, disastrous conflict with a rising People’s Republic of China? For the latest Newsweek “Debate of the Week,” author, commentator and Newsweek columnist Gordon G. Chang debates Council on Foreign Relations adjunct senior fellow and NYU School of Law professor Jerome A....

Democratic Senators Ron Wyden (Ore.), Sherrod Brown (Ohio), Bob Menendez (N.J.) and Chris Van Hollen (Md.) introduced the bill on Wednesday. While many Americans have already received the $1,400 payments or are expected to soon, lawmakers and advocates have expressed concerns that those with debts could be vulnerable to garnishment from debt collection companies while they desperately need the relief that the checks are intended to provide amid the COVID-19 pandemic....

“At the time we thought ‘Wow, we can consolidate our accounts and pay off our debt’,” says Davis, now 29 and a customer-service representative for a major movie studio in California. But a few months after the couple signed up with the Germantown, Md.-based nonprofit debt consolidator Ameridebt, Davis says her creditors still had not received any of the more than $2,700 she had sent to Ameridebt. “We’d been had,” says Davis, who refused to make any more payments and filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau alleging her creditors not only had not been paid, but most had not even been contacted by Ameridebt....

Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) said in a press release on Wednesday that they are appealing for information about the killing, which happened on the night of December 9 in Springfield, Lane County.

The American, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour this year, moved into 16 under at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas.

But the round of the day belonged to Lucas Glover, who produced an incredible 10-under 61 to go outright third a shot back. Glover, beginning on the back nine, was briefly on 59 watch despite bogeying his first hole....

Today however, IPL as ‘India’s festival’ are hauntingly empty words. The Golden Age Of IPL Spectators quickly latched on to the IPL, for it was a concoction of tantalising ideas that would lead to fantastic entertainment – entertainment being the solitary goal. It wasn’t the first T20 league to come into existence, but it was definitely the most ostentatious. Teams from prominent Indian cities were created, owned by popular movie stars, business tycoons or both....

In Elden Ring this delicate system for collecting runes, which are required to level up, does add an element of risk vs reward to the game. Carrying around a large number of runes will let players continue playing, with a bigger pay-out for when they do finally decide to stop and level up. But the risk increases exponentially as dying would mean the loss of an even greater amount of time....

Held in the backdrop of the famous Hornbill Festival, Gagan Sethi and his co-driver Sabatullah Khan were all excited and raring to go in their Maruti Suzuki Gypsy. “It is great to be back here in Nagaland for the Hornbill Rally.

But will the gulf war prove a bonanza for defense contractors? Not likely, experts agree. A few companies may pick up new contracts, but overall spending will drop sharply. This war is being fought almost entirely out of inventory, with little apparent need to replenish weapons. The budget deficit and the end of the cold war translated into a firm agreement last year to cut real defense spending by 25 percent over five years....
