The microplate, or rift branch, known as the Victoria plate, is one of several sections of the East African Rift System—a newly developing tectonic boundary, where the African plate is in the process of splitting in two. The Victoria plate is moving counterclockwise, in contrast to the other microplates, Rovuma and Lwandle, further to the south. “The East Africa Rift System has long been recognized as a place of continental break up,” Anne Glerum, a Geodynamic Modeler at the German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ, told Newsweek....

The introductory part of the first half of the One Piece series is called the East Blue Saga. It describes Luffy’s departure and the gathering of his first crewmembers before entering the famed Grand Line.

During the East Blue Saga, the newfound Strawhat Pirates met many opponents in their path....

RELATED: One Piece: All Known Members of CP0, Ranked The World Government claims to represent order and justice, but it is actually a corrupt organization that wishes to suppress knowledge and history. They carry out this suppression by any means necessary. There are several Devil Fruits that pose a threat to the World Government’s existence, and if given the chance, they would destroy them too. 10 The Gura Gura No Mi Has The Power To Destroy The World Whitebeard was one of the strongest characters in One Piece because he was proficient in all forms of Haki, but he also had the power of the strongest Paramecia....

RELATED: One Piece: A Closer Look At Zoro & Chopper’s Underrated Bromance Zoro is one of Luffy’s Wings and, as such, is someone without whom Luffy cannot accomplish his goal. In the Wano Country arc, he proved this by helping his Captain in the fight against Kaido and, later, taking on King the Wildfire of the Beasts Pirates in combat as well. To defeat him, Zoro had to come up with a new fighting style, called King of Hell: Three Sword Style, which makes him much stronger than he ever was and offers him new abilities as well....

RELATED: One Piece: Characters That Have Basically Disappeared As a group, the Navy is nigh unbeatable, with only the strongest pirates in One Piece standing a chance of matching their might.

The Nightmare of Ashihama is available now for players in Old School RuneScape, and can be accessed by traveling to the catacombs of the Sisterhood Sanctuary in Morytania.

The payoff of a first National League title since 1945 and a first World Series win since 1908 almost certainly will not come this year, as the Cubs are not making sweeping upgrades to a team that lost 96 games in 2013, finishing with a 31-game deficit in the National League Central. Instead, Chicago is waiting on a bumper crop of elite prospects, led by shortstop Javier Baez, third baseman Kris Bryant, and right-hander C....

Ole Miss then went back five yards, and decided to try and throw one last time. It did not go well. Ole Miss had actually had an incredible series of events to even get in the position to tie the game. Moments earlier, QB Bo Wallace threw an interception to end the game that was overturned because of pass interference by the Tigers. The Rebels were then able to march down the field and get into position for a field goal, which they never actually got off....

The flags started flying with a call against Rebels linebacker Mark Robinson for his hit on the Cardinals running back Hassan Hall near the end of the first quarter. Robinson’s targeting wasn’t egregious, though he did lower his helmet as he made the tackle, resulting in his ejection. MORE: Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly butchers John McKay quote, says ’entire team needs to be executed' Minutes following Robinson’s ejection, officials made a more clear targeting penalty against Louisville: Two players — linebackers Monty Montgomery and Jack Fagot — lowered their heads and made helmet-to-helmet contact with Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral, who was in the act of sliding....

In what could prove a defining fight for both boxers, Ukrainian stylist Usyk defends the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight titles he took from Joshua in London in September 2021. Joshua is desperate to regain the belts he lost on points in an enthralling scrap at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the second defeat of his stellar career. Vengeance against the unbeaten Usyk, though, will probably require the Londoner’s finest ever performance....

Alright, quiz time. Calgary, 1988. Name the ski jumper who won gold. Okay, if you said Matti Nykanen, then you, too, were probably consulting with pages 288 and 295 of David Wallechinsky’s “The Complete Book of the Winter Olympics.” Now try this: Calgary, 1988. Name the ski jumper who finished dead last, and who described his first run-in with the sport like this: “When I looked from the top of the jump I was so frightened that my bum shriveled up like a prune....

Ferguson quit after leading United to the 2012-13 Premier League title, the 13th of his reign and their 20th in total. He won the Champions League twice, too. United have toiled in the intervening years, unable to replace one of sport’s all-time finest leaders. The announcement of Ferguson’s exit came on May 8, 2013, allowing us to reflect on that news among other notable sporting events on this day....

A decade ago, the Portuguese led the Nerazzurri to a treble by beating Bayern Munich in the 2010 Champions League final. That was a fine achievement for Italian sport, though the country’s rugby union team were certainly not celebrating after being thrashed by New Zealand in the opening game of the first ever Rugby World Cup in 1987. Here we take a look at major events that happened on May 22 in previous years....

In another incident on Sunday, 25 people were reportedly injured during clashes between fans of the same teams....

The video in question was new music by singer and former The X Factor contestant Rebecca Ferguson, not the beloved boyband. The British reality television show propelled Ferguson to fame in 2010 when she reached the final alongside One Direction and that year’s winner, Matt Cardle. The 35-year-old also famously dated Zayn Malik for a short time. One Direction has been on hiatus for a number of years with all members pursuing solo projects....

While a standalone Call of Duty Zombies title would undoubtedly do well, one thing can truly make it excel. Alongside other must-have features like map remasters and the return of original, fully voiced characters, seeing a bigger focus on custom maps than ever before could give the game an incredibly long life cycle. With skilled creators provided with the ability to constantly add fresh maps to the game, the Zombies community could keep this standalone game alive for years after its release....
