The United States should offer a novel form of expedited American citizenship, what I call “protest asylum,” to those journalists and protesters who do not flee. This is distinct from political asylum, which offers protection to individuals in fear of political persecution who want to or have fled. Extending U.S. citizenship to journalists and protesters determined to stay in their home countries would allow the U.S. government to petition for their release if they are jailed for allegedly subversive acts....

The franchise launched its 23rd game, Atelier Sophie 2: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Dream, only this February. It’s generally difficult for franchises to remain relevant for such a long time without falling prey to nostalgia, with fans often arguing over how this or that earlier game was better than the latest entry. However, Atelier not only managed to stay relevant, but its 23rd game is the most complete in the franchise so far....
NCAA President Mark Emmert saw the need for a new constitution in August, after the Supreme Court ruled against the association and left it vulnerable to more legal challenges. The new constitution is Emmert’s first phase of transforming the NCAA in a way to give more power to schools and conferences, instead of the Indianapolis-based association. The NCAA released an 18 1/2-page draft of the constitution, cut down from 43 pages over the last three months of revisions, and focuses on the NCAA’s goals of athlete welfare more than the previous one....

Nineteen-year-old Joao Felix became the second most expensive teenager in world football when he joined Atletico from Benfica for €126million last month, a fee only eclipsed by those paid for Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Philippe Coutinho by Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona respectively. The forward has enjoyed an encouraging pre-season under Simeone and got a goal and an assist in Thursday’s 3-0 friendly win over an MLS All-Stars side in Orlando....
Atleti play on Saturday, ahead of both Barcelona and Real Madrid who play on Sunday, so this is their opportunity to pile the pressure on the top guns in the La Liga title race. Until they start to demolish teams like Celta Vigo, it may be difficult to consider them title contenders once again. The hitch to that point is Atleti’s desperate lack of goals at the start of this season....
MADRID (Reuters) - Holders Barcelona crashed out of the Champions League after being stifled by a brilliantly well-organised Atletico Madrid and undone by two goals from Antoine Griezmann in a 2-0 quarter-final, second leg defeat on Wednesday. Griezmann headed home from Saul Niguez’s exquisite cross to give the home side a deserved lead in the 36th minute before the Frenchman scored again from the penalty spot with two minutes remaining, following a handball from Andres Iniesta....

Atletico 4/5 to beat Las Palmas The report handed in by the official said Griezmann had called him “cagon”, which translates as “chickens***”. The Royal Spanish Football Federation’s (RFEF) disciplinary committee deemed the France star’s reaction to be “unjustifiable” and an act of “contempt and disregard” towards Munera....
The Borgia Towers played an important role in Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood as strongholds that increased the number of guards in a region, and restricting Ezio’s access to shops, banks, stables, and underground tunnels in the surrounding area. These will be making a return in Assassin’s Creed Revelations as Assassin’s Dens - hidden locations around Constantinople that serve as bases of operations for the Assassins in the city. While the Dens are under Assassin control, Ezio will have the ability to upgrade shops in the area just like in Brotherhood, but these shops will once again have multiple tiers of upgrades, like Monteriggioni’s shops in Assassin’s Creed 2....

Taking place in late 9th century England, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla represents a land undergoing constant change. Players can come across a Danish settlement, an established English city, and ancient Roman ruins all in a day’s ride, showcasing just how tumultuous things really are in England at this time.

It’s worth noting that the Sigrblot Festival is significantly different from the Yule Festival and Ostara Festival. Very few of the previous festival activities make a return here, and those that do are modified in one way or another. Still, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla players shouldn’t have too much trouble with finishing all of these activities, as it should only take around two hours.
