The upcoming device boasts a similar design, but with a monster battery, brand-new processor, and world-first 120Hz AMOLED display it’s a step-up in just about every other respect. Here’s how the two phones compare from what we’ve seen so far. Price and availability The ROG Phone 2 was announced in July 2019, but the western release date and pricing only came at IFA 2019. It’s available to pre-order now, and the standard version of the phone, with 12GB RAM and 512GB ROM, costs €899 or $899....

Millions have fled airstrikes, bombings, drone attacks and for other reasons during wars the U.S. military has launched or participated in since former president George W. Bush declared a global war on terror in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks, according to a recently updated report by David Vine, a professor of anthropology at American University in Washington, D.C., and several of his students for Brown University’s Costs of War 2020 project ....

“AT&T has never had a financial interest in OAN’s success and does not ‘fund’ OAN,” the company said in a Wednesday statement. “When AT&T acquired DIRECTV, we refused to carry OAN on that platform, and OAN sued DIRECTV as a result. Four years ago, DIRECTV reached a commercial carriage agreement with OAN, as it has with hundreds of other channels and as OAN has done with the other TV providers that it carries on its programming....

What Was AT&T TV Now? AT&T TV Now began in 2016 as DirecTV Now and was a strong option for cord-cutters. Priced competitively at $35 for over 100 live channels, the service captured the market out of the gate. However, subscribers began dropping off as costs rose, licensing agreements ran out, and competitors cropped up. In July 2019, DirecTV Now was rebranded to AT&T TV Now. However, by that point the number of live channels on offer had dropped drastically....

To improve workers’ skills, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren will call for free college for all. To raise wages, many will call for a rapid increase in the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour as well as resurgent unionism. And Andrew Yang, no doubt, will continue to call for “universal basic income” in response to potentially large-scale job displacement from automation. But no single silver bullet solution exists that can solve our skills and earnings problems....

When atelectasis occurs, fresh air can’t reach the alveoli, tiny balloon-shaped air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. This results in hypoxia, which is when the organs and tissues of the body don’t get enough oxygen. Atelectasis may be acute, occurring suddenly over minutes, or chronic, developing over a period of days to weeks. It can be caused by a number of different medical conditions, ranging from lung injury to lung cancer....

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Atlético Mineiro has signed up a sponsorship deal with Italian telecommunications firm TIM. The contract runs through 2014. Atletico became South American champion defeating Paraguay’s Olimpia in last month’s Copa Libertadores final and also finished runner-up in 2012 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. Under this contract, the club will provide TIM with branding inside squad numbers on the back of Atletico’s shirts. TIM is the second largest telecommunications company in Brazil with a market share of 27....

Some of the highlights of the Competition Guidelines, based on the recently updated Rules of the Game by the International Football Association Board (IFAB), include: Confirmation of the use of Video Review technology, according to the protocol established by FIFA and IFAB. Two ball stands will be used behind each goal. The purpose of ball stand implementation is to increase effective match time and reduce gamesmanship.

The stage was set for an unforgettable night, with an MLS record playoff crowd packing Mercedes-Benz Stadium for Atlanta’s first playoff match. Zack Steffen and the Columbus Crew had a much different script in mind, though, and the hottest team in MLS played the role of spoiler to a tee, standing toe-to-toe with United’s high-flying squad and showing the newcomers that the playoffs are a very different environment than the regular season....

BARCELONA (Reuters) - Atletico Madrid said farewell to their beloved Vicente Calderon stadium in the most fitting manner with a 3-1 win over Athletic Bilbao thanks to a double by homegrown hero Fernando Torres on Sunday before they move to a new ground. Torres, who made his debut at Atletico’s atmospheric home of 51 years aged 17 in 2001, knocked in Antoine Griezmann’s glanced header from close range in the eighth minute then swivelled to hook a bouncing header from Koke into the net in the 11th....

Diego Simeone picked Torres from the start for only the fifth time in LaLiga this season and that decision paid off, as the Spaniard put in a strong performance leading the line and gave Leganes problems throughout. Torres made his Atletico debut against Leganes in May 2001 so it was fitting that the fans’ favourite was crucial for the opening goal – converting the rebound after Antoine Griezmann missed a penalty won by the former Liverpool star....

In Assassin’s Creed Origins, the player follows the Medjay Bayek in Ancient Egypt, who was the founder of the Hidden Ones, forerunners to the Brotherhood of Assassins, alongside his wife Aya. Though the strong-willed warrior is playable for several missions throughout the game, Aya is undoubtedly overshadowed by her husband Bayek. Aya’s role gradually shrunk over the course of Assassin’s Creed Origins’s development, but Aya was originally meant to become the main protagonist, according to Bloomberg....

Assassin’s Creed Revelations was released in 2011 and is the conclusion to the trilogy of Ezio Auditore games. Often in Assassin’s Creed games, players can stumble upon famous sites that take on a different meaning to match the overarching lore of the series. Assassin Bureaus are the hidden local chapter’s headquarters, and their distinctive design from the first game included a roof-top entrance.

While the main protagonists always have their strong appeal, Assassin’s Creed is stuffed with side characters that deserve their own stories. Ubisoft has already started to explore this concept with the Adewale DLC in Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, and Basim in Assassin’s Creed Rift. If it continues this trend, there are a few clear top candidates for their own spinoff games or DLC. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Infinity Settings We Hope to See at Launch...

Unfortunately, this is one of the more vague quests in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Hytham does not give gamers any advice for directions, and there are no waypoints on the map. RELATED: Some Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Choice Aren’t Really Choices At All As an extra incentive, fans will receive the Hidden One’s outfit for completing the quest, which is useful for people who prefer a less direct approach to combat.

The grave of Ragnar Lothbrok isn’t the easiest to find. It’s in a very special place that players will need to have keen eyes to find. The first thing players must do is download the latest 1.1.2 update. This will load a new quest called “The Lost Drengir of Ragnar Lothbrok.” However, in order to get to unlock this quest, Eivor must defeat all six Lost Drengir. This may take a while and once completed, players will be free to wrap everything up by finding Ragnar Lothbrok’s grave....

Valhalla protagonist Eivor will wear the Hidden Blade on the top of their wrist, as opposed to stealthily tucked away underneath like in most Assassin’s Creed games. The move was a bit confusing to some, but it appears that it was a very deliberate decision, according to Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla’s Narrative Director Darby McDevitt. RELATED: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Could Feature Boss Battles with Thor, Odin In a video recently uploaded to Twitter, McDevitt responded to a fan asking why the Hidden Blade had been changed....

Assassin’s Creed 2020 has been on the lips of a ton of insiders lately, with that finally coming to a head. It seems Ubisoft worked together with BossLogic to design a promotional art of its newly revealed Assassin’s Creed Valhalla live on air. The art appears to be a depiction of Scandinavia on the left and the British Isles on the right, with viking long boats on the left and what appears to be a viking raid on the right, confirming the Viking Era setting....

That isn’t all that is extraordinary about this world’s orbit, however. It passes around its parent star, TOI-2257, in an extremely flattened elliptical orbit. Yet because the exoplanet, designated TOI-2257b, is so close to its stars at just around 135 million miles away, it completes an orbit once roughly every 35 earth days. The team’s investigation of this star and its planet, which are around 188 light-years from Earth, has been pre-published on the arXiv pre-print server....
