Exquisite simplicity isn’t easy to pull off. But when the Nasher Sculpture Center opens its doors later this month, downtown Dallas–with its flashy skyscrapers and roaring traffic–will become an art lover’s nirvana. Trust me on this: if you give a hoot about modern art, modern design or both, go to Dallas and follow your bliss to this two-acre city block of unexpected serenity. At first look, the $70 million museum seems unprepossessing: a low-slung building right at street level, set between the Dallas Museum of Art and I....

As its dwarven cast implies, Deep Rock Galactic isn’t just about shooting. It’s also about mining. Save for a few mission types, like extermination, most of Deep Rock Galactic’s missions involve gathering some form of resource. The enemies aren’t the main objective, but just another deady obstacle. RELATED: Deep Rock Galactic’s PS5 Port Could Be Its Most Immersive While this gives players who have bad aim something to do, it also means that a round of Deep Rock Galactic can turn into an endurance test, depending on how heavy the enemy onslaught is....

Belgian 47th-ranked Van Uytvanck triumphed 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 for her first-ever win over a top 10 opponent.

In the men’s event, third seed and last year’s runner-up Marin Cilic was knocked out by Argentina’s Guido Pella. Fourth seed Alexander Zverev was teetering on the brink of defeat when he trailed Taylor Fritz of the United States by two sets to one when their second round tie was suspended for the night....

A Sunday afternoon on the barracks’ catwalk. Day four of the war. Nothing much else to do but bullsht and watch TV. There are an estimated 50 Marine casualties at this point. Mom said she watched a firefight on TV this morning. Some U.S. forces are less than 100 miles from Baghdad. Other than that don’t know what else to say…just waiting. A lot of us think that we’ll end up going no where, just end up staying stateside....

Mentality plays a critical role during the injury recovery process. The key is to be patient and persistent to get one’s game back. Otherwise, one might under- or over-adhere during their rehabilitation, and, as such, these behaviors further delay the recovery process. Athletes can look at recovery from an injury as just another physical challenge to defeat. In fact, the same mental skills and strategies that are helpful for winning on the field should also be used to excel in the training room....

But Mayor Weltin won’t be one of them. He is stepping down from his post in September and moving away. There reaches a point in the decline of a town, he explained apologetically, “where it just doesn’t work anymore.” Besides everything else, Weltin says he wants to move closer to a medical center. His 13-year-old boy, Brendan, has heart troubles. His 18-year-old son, Jordan, died of cerebral palsy in June....

Specifically, this would be the recruitment system that drives much of MGS5 and allows Venom Snake to build up the Diamond Dogs and empower his research and development systems. So, given that unlocking and fabricating gear is an important part of planning deliveries in Death Stranding, the same mechanic could be better refined in a world that has fewer resources and people to pull from.

Commenting below this, the community manager for the game has come forward to not only agree that the burgers look great, but to promise that the studio will be “actively investigating” the performance issues that have been plaguing the PC community, with updates to follow....

Immediately after the election, moderate and progressive Democrats began trading recriminations. In the eyes of the moderates, Democrats’ rhetoric about “defunding” the police and “Green New Deal”-style massive government programs cost them many winnable races. But, progressives responded, there is little concrete evidence of this, and Clintonian-style centrism is, at this point, an outmoded dinosaur of a previous era. Who is right? This week, Batya Ungar-Sargon, opinion editor of The Forward, debates Issac Bailey of Davidson College on whether the far Left exerts a positive or negative influence upon the Democratic Party....

What Is Deep Brain Stimulation? Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical procedure used as a form of therapy for symptoms associated with certain neurological movement disorders. This procedure involves the placement of electrodes at specific sites in the brain and the implantation of a pacer in the chest, which is responsible for controlling the electrical stimulus of the electrodes. While the mechanism of DBS is not fully understood, the general consensus is that the released electrical signals affect certain cells (and associated chemical messengers) in the brain and aid in modulating communication between certain regions of the brain....

To get a clear representation of a bowel movement, a thick barium paste will be inserted into the rectum of the man or woman with a device similar to a caulking gun. The barium ensures high contrast on the X-ray images as the paste is gradually expelled from the bowel. Defecography can also be performed using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine instead of an X-ray to avoid radiation. When the procedure involves the use of real-time X-ray video, it is often referred to as cinedefecography....
