Yet even this VR experience, whatever exactly it turns out to be, isn’t what it seems at first. Firstly, it isn’t a game. Ubisoft has confirmed that it’s only interactive via a VR headset, not a controller. In fact, it’s not even Ubisoft that’s producing it, that task falls to Fox and Practical Magic. Naturally, whatever the studio is planning won’t be related to the video games at all. It will be associated with the upcoming Assassin’s Creed film....

Asthma exacerbations are very serious complications of asthma that can be life-threatening. Exacerbations usually involve an acute or severe episode, much like an asthma attack, which often sends people to the emergency room. At the same time, exacerbations involve a progressively deteriorating airway that is affected over time. Asthma exacerbations can lead to reduced lung function. This article discusses the symptoms, causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of asthma exacerbations....

The Good The Norwich win was a superb one in terms of the importance of the result and the manner of the victory. The holy grail of the league clean sheet was finally reached, Brad Guzan was magnificent again and Libor Kozák got off to a great start in a Villa shirt, coming on early for Christian Benteke and scoring the only goal of the game to maintain our excellent record at Carrow Road....

Tributes have flowed in for the 31-year-old defender following the club’s announcement that he had passed away. Astori and the Fiorentina squad had been staying in a hotel in Udine ahead of their scheduled Serie A match with Udinese. Club press officer Arturo Mastronardi says Astori’s body was found in his room after he did not arrive for breakfast with the team on Sunday morning. He added that an autopsy is due to be conducted and the rest of the squad will fly back to Florence, where club directors have visited Astori’s family....

The Astros’ manager was in the middle of an interview with play-by-play announcer Joe Buck at the top of the third inning on Friday night when Kiké Hernández blasted a 448-foot home run to tie it up 1-1 during Game 1 of the ALCS. As soon as Hernández touched the ball, Baker uttered “Oh lord.” Buck shouted that the ball was up and out to which Baker responded, “Yeah, way out....

Few pitchers, especially late-inning relievers, employ an arsenal similar to the soft-tossing righty, and those who do are typically specialists who are only effective against same-side hitters. Gregerson is not a specialist, however, he is the closer on the American League West-leading Astros and a big part of their surprising playoff run. MORE: Astros could prove to be formidable in October The book on Gregerson has always been to expect the slider at almost all times, which until this year was justified by the righty using it 46 percent of the time against left-handed hitters and an astounding 64 percent of the time against right-handed hitters....

The Astros are one win away from a 2022 World Series title, due in large part to the sensational play of their defense late in a 3-2 victory over the Phillies in Game 5 on Thursday. First baseman Trey Mancini and outfielder Chas McCormick got business done with their gloves, with each making tremendous grabs in the eighth and ninth inning, respectively to keep the Astros ahead of the Phillies, leading to the win that put the club up 3-2 in the series....

Less than 24 hours following the sharing of some harsh words — apparently flung from Ken Giles’ mouth toward Astros manager A.J. Hinch — the Houston reliever is packing his things and heading to Triple-A Fresno, the team announced Wednesday. Cameras caught Giles spewing some (seemingly) bad words, potentially directed toward Hinch as Hinch pulled Giles following a less-than-stellar outing on Tuesday night vs. the A’s. Giles allowed three straight singles in the top of the ninth inning....

A first-inning home run by breakout star Randy Arozarena and a stellar start from Charlie Morton gave Tampa Bay an early edge. Manager Kevin Cash’s bullpen then withstood tense moments to hold onto a 4-2 win. Morton lasted 5 2/3 innings and rarely met trouble. Cash removed him at just 66 pitches, a controversial decision that paid off. Houston’s only runs came on a two-run single by Carlos Correa in the eighth....

Don’t think it’s riddled with compromises either: its Nvidia GTX 1060 is significantly more powerful than the previous-generation GTX 980M, and you’d have to spend almost £2000 to get a laptop with one of those. Asus ROG Strix GL702VM review: Price It has a high-power variant of Intel’s Core i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, a 128GB SSD and 1TB hard drive. You may find gaming laptops with more RAM and a faster CPU at a similar price, but to buy one would probably be a mistake....

According to Chinese state media, 37 students and two adults were injured in the Thursday-morning attack at the school in Cangwu County, in the southern province of Guangxi at 8.30am local time. The suspect is currently in police custody, with the motive behind the attack as of yet unclear. The two adult victims, along with the school principal and another security guard were seriously injured in the attack, according to a statement by the Wuzhou municipal government at noon....

It’s really a remarkable feat. It’s safe to say, though, that he’d probably prefer not to repeat either of those outings, a combined 11 earned runs in nine innings pitched. In fact, he hasn’t fared very well in any of his seven World Series starts, going 0-6 with a 5.68 ERA. “I would like to get a win, yeah,” Verlander said Thursday. “I mean, I’m not going to — like I said, that’s not my goal, so I don’t want to say that that feels like it’s lacking because innately that would make it a particular goal of mine....

The two crucial Georgia runoff elections—which will be held on January 5 with early voting starting December 14—will determine control of the Senate, meaning President-elect Joe Biden’s ability to push through his agenda. Democrats, who narrowly control the House, need to win both seats for a 50-50 split. In that scenario, Vice President Kamala Harris would cast the tie-breaking vote. Recent election boycott calls driven by Trump supporters, inspired by the president’s allegations of widespread voter fraud, could hinder the GOP’s chances of retaining their majority in the upper chamber....

It’s like a horror movie: you know that one ghastly thing after another is going to happen, and they do. Based on a true story, the movie drenches you with a kind of numbing compassion. These Kurds aren’t reluctantly leaving their homes because of a tyrant’s oppression; their journey is a quixotic quest that can only end in tragedy. Director Xavier Koller treats their plight too simplistically, as a question of closed borders and heartless officials....

With Tiger Woods’ trouble taking headlines, Johnson will start a comeback from “personal challenges” that derailed him last year. Those human foibles, Johnson acknowledges, involved vodka. Whispers suggest his departure from competition last year also involved a six-month PGA suspension, but Johnson denies such punishment.

The former South African president, Nobel Peace Prize winner and anti-apartheid leader died Thursday at 95, bringing a vast outpouring of tributes from some of the most luminous name in sports. "I got a chance to meet him with my father back in '98," golfer Tiger Woods said. "He invited us to his home, and it was one of the inspiring times I've ever had in my life." Boxing great Muhammad Ali said Mandela inspired others to "reach for what appeared to be impossible....

Ronaldo missed Madrid’s 4-0 win over Galatasaray in the Champions League Wednesday and failed to train Thursday as a result of a muscle injury. The ease of Madrid’s win without the striker may tempt coach Carlo Ancelotti to err on the side of caution and again rest Ronaldo Saturday at home to a Valladolid side which on paper should offer little resistance to them, reports Xinhua. If Ronaldo doesn’t play, Gareth Bale will look to repeat his excellent form from Wednesday while Karim Benzema remains in good form along with impressive Xabi Alonso in midfield....
