What started as a protest on Sunday against, among other things, a lack of COVID vaccines and rising prices, has become far more dangerous to the ruling Communist Party of Cuba. Protestors have marched to its headquarters and are flying the American flag, signs that the demonstrations in more than 40 cities and towns could lead to fundamental political change on the island. Could Cuba’s worst economic crisis in 30 years become its first revolution in 62?...

After the match, the Eagles were hit by the news that Wilfried Zaha sustained a knee injury in the draw at Selhurst Park, which is set to keep him sidelined for at least a month. Roy Hodgson will be cursing his luck at the moment, with his team having also enjoyed the better of the contest against the Magpies, but failing to take all three points due to profligacy....

The Department of Homeland Security announced its proposed joint rule with the Department of Justice in a statement Monday, claiming that it would “enhance the integrity of the asylum process.” Under the new regulations, which are expected to be published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, the U.S. can deny asylum to anyone who has failed to apply for protections in another country that they have passed through on their way to the American border....

Manufacturers use wheat gluten along with protein from corn in pet foods because those foods need to contain protein to be nutritionally complete, and wheat and corn are much less expensive than animal-based proteins from beef, poultry, or fish. Barley, on the other hand, is added to pet food to provide fiber, plus calories from carbohydrates. Some people choose pet foods without gluten grains (or even without any grains at all) because they believe those gluten-free or grain-free foods are best for their pets....

However, as nice as it may be to play Nintendo DS games on a device as powerful as the 3DS, there are some things that you will miss out on. One feature that does work, for example, is Wi-Fi. If the DS game supports it, you can use your Nintendo 3DS to connect with other players regardless of the device they’re using to play — be it a DS, 3DS, DSi XL, etc....

Four wins from the opening four games have laid down a marker and shown the rest of the league Liverpool mean business, but haven’t we been here before? Back in the 2008-2009 season Rafa Benitez almost masterminded title glory but instead will be remembered for his infamous facts rant against Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson who would go on to lift the title despite his team being second for the majority of the campaign....

According to early Call of the Sea reviews, those playing the game can expect their playthrough to last roughly five hours or so. The game consists of six main chapters and a prologue, though each chapter is fairly large. Call of the Sea playtimes will vary depending on how long it takes players to figure out and complete the game’s puzzles, so someone that’s following a guide may be able to breeze through at an even faster rate....

Wait, didn’t someone we all know say this? “So, what are you guys going to do?” analyst Alexi Lalas said during a rant on Fox Sports before a televised Major League Soccer game. “Are you going to continue to be a bunch of soft, underperforming, tattooed millionaires? You are a soccer generation that has been given everything. You are a soccer generation who’s on the verge of squandering everything.”...

Here is the exact text of Schofield’s now-deleted tweet: “I only talk about the game during an event. We r working 6-7 days a week, nobody’s forcing us. Exhaustion, tired, Covid but we’re working. Bugs, glitches, perf fixes. 1 last pass thru audio. 12-15 hour days. This is gaming. Hard work. Lunch, dinner working. U do it cause ya luv it.” The gist of it is that Callisto Protocol’s Striking Distance Studios is putting the finishing touches on the sci-fi survival-horror title, polishing it ahead of its release date, but is apparently engaging in crunch culture to do so....

In an interview with ESPN’s “E:60,” the former Lions receiver said he loved playing football and will miss the game, but grew tired of being in constant pain.

Akers was expected to be the primary running back for the Rams against the Bills, but he ended up playing just 12 offensive snaps. He only saw three carries and recorded zero yards while presumed backup Darrell Henderson played 55 snaps and generated 47 yards on 13 carries. Rams coach Sean McVay explained that Akers’ light usage in the debut was because he wanted to see “an increased level of urgency and accountability” from the third-year running back....

The Associated Press’ Steve Reed shared video of the exchange: MORE: Newton criticized for ‘funny’ comment to female reporter Reed said Newton answered several questions during the press conference, before walking off. After Newton discussed the team’s recent offensive struggles, The Charlotte Observer’s Joe Person asked Newton, “Have big plays, big chunk plays been good to get that energy that you’re talking about — does this offense, I know you had several at Detroit and New England, do you think you guys have the wherewithal to do that consistently, week in and week out?...

The play occurred during the Patriots’ first drive of the second half, down 12-3; Bradley Chubb was credited with the strip-sack, but Newton managed to get up from the tackle and dive on the ball to keep possession. Granted, it came on third-and-6, but the ensuing punt gave Denver the ball at their 15-yard line as opposed to New England’s 25.

Newton sustained the concussion in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Falcons and hasn’t practiced all week. Derek Anderson will start if Newton is unable to play. The Panthers (1-3) are in an early hole in the NFC South, but Anderson defeated the Bucs twice in 2014 while starting for an injured Newton.

$4,600: That’s the max individual donors can give a campaign—$2,300 for a primary, the same for a general election. It’s still primary season, but some ‘08 candidates are taking in the full amount, thanks to a loophole that lets campaigns accept checks early. BUNDLING: To raise big bucks, campaigns hit up donors to solicit checks from their friends, family and colleagues. Elite members of Hillary Clinton’s “Hillraisers” have pledged to raise $1 million apiece for her campaign....

Google, Facebook, Netflix, Morgan Stanley and other companies say employees must be vaccinated against COVID-19 before returning to the office, prompting outrage from some who see it as restricting workers’ right to make their own health decisions. However, many employees who refuse to get vaccinated have little recourse if they want to keep their job while working in an at-will state. All states except Montana have at-will employment. “Employers can ask employees to do whatever the employer wants, and if the employee doesn’t like it, they can go find another job....

Now a most recent update has reintroduced AI teammates into Ghost Recon Breakpoint, but for a lot of fans it’s too little too late. Adding back AI teammates is a proper step for the game’s quality-of-life, but in reality that’s only combatting the smaller playerbase at this point. Even with a free weekend to try the game, the stigma of Breakpoint’s release will continue to stick with the game for a while....
