Its popularity spans generations, and it already has a strong cultural presence across Japan.

The pair set an Olympic record of 52.70 seconds on Thursday to post the first swimming dead heat of the Rio Games. Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom took the bronze medal in 52.99 seconds, reports Xinhua. Australia’s Bronte Campbell, who qualified fastest for the final and set a world record in the event last month, was fourth in 53.02 seconds. It was Canada’s first gold medal of these Games and 16th for the US – 11 of them coming in the pool....

While it visually looks vibrant, gamers preferring a third-person skateboarding experience might be hesitant in trying it out, which, frankly speaking, is a disservice, as there is a lot of depth under the hood, which makes it a great skateboarding game. Developed by Roll7, OlliOlli World is the third game in the series and the first one published by Private Division, the publishing house under Take-Two Interactive. Judging by everything offered through the package, it is evident that whatever they have learned all these years through the games they previously made has been used to create a brilliant skateboarding game....

NBC television network and Peacock, the streaming service owned and operated by NBCUniversal, were called out by some for not providing live coverage of the gymnastic routine by Jordan Chiles, who stepped in as a last-minute replacement for Biles. USA Gymnastics said in a statement Tuesday: “Simone Biles has withdrawn from the team final competition due to a medical issue. She will be assessed daily to determine medical clearance for future competitions....

Milak, who holds the Olympic record in the 200 butterfly, set the mark with a 50.31-second 100 in his semifinal Thursday. Then American Caeleb Dressel then took him down in the second semi, becoming the first swimmer to finish under 50 seconds in the event at the Olympics with a time of 49.71. He earned the top spot in Friday’s final. That race set the tone for what would become a night of records....

On Monday morning, popular meteorologist James Spann shared a tweet that included a statement issued by National Weather Service meteorologist Robert Ricks on August 28, 2005, one day before Hurricane Katrina made landfall in New Orleans, Louisiana. “This is the statement issued by NWS meteorologist Robert Ricks (from the Slidell office) the day before Katrina made landfall. Some thought this “doomsday” statement was a hoax. Unfortunately, it wasn’t,” Spann wrote in the tweet....

How Long to Beat Omori A player that put their primary focus on reaching the end of Omori can expect to complete their first playthrough in around 20 hours. That said, this length can be extended considerably by engaging with the aforementioned optional content, which primarily takes the form of side quests. Indeed, the majority of the quests in the game are not mandatory, and indie video game fans that pursue side quests to a high degree can add around 10 hours to the experience....

That’s what we all said nearly twenty years ago while struggling to cope with our grief. Since the days of George Washington, we’d thought of ourselves as more or less removed from what he called “messy, foreign entanglements,” protected from the rest of the world by two great oceans and divine providence. We’d jumped into the thicket a time or two. America saved the world at least twice during the 20th century, probably three times given our willingness to contest an expensive, global Cold War which occasionally turned hot in places like Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East at the cost of our greatest treasure: the young men and women sent to fight....

When the All-Star Game started, Mike Trout brought about the zombie revolution. There is no better player on the planet, so the undead walking among us is the most logical explanation.

All he did on Tuesday was become the first player ever to win back-to-back All-Star Game MVPs....

On social media, Michelle Obama celebrated her husband’s birthday milestone with a heartwarming photo. In the throwback picture, the former president and his wife are gathered with their two children, Sasha and Malia. She shared her well wishes to her “favorite guy.” The former First Lady of the United States wrote, “Here’s to all the good days, blue skies, and new adventures to come.” A post shared by Michelle Obama (@michelleobama) on Aug 4, 2020 at 6:08am PDT...

The recent exile of Kevin Pietersen from English cricket is a harsh indictment of a maverick whose energies were never fully harnessed and channelized. Recent reports suggest that those energies might have been amply released in a rant against Andy Flower, in a secretly arranged team-meeting organized by Alastair Cook and Matthew Prior with a motive to discuss the coach’s methods. The rant, allegedly, was the incriminating evidence that lead to his axing....

THE PRIMARY AND CAUCUS SEASON California Dreaming: The mother lode of them all: 348 pledged Democratic delegates, 201 Republican. Because the California primary comes so late in the season, it rarely plays a critical role. But Cuomo has support there, and Gephardt met with California fund raisers last week. Do they think the rare could still be wide open in June? If it is, lie back and watch them scramble....

Perlmutter remained a middleman between Feige and Disney boss Alan Horn until 2015 when Feige reached the final straw working with Perlmutter and went over his head and had him removed from the equation. Since then, the MCU has gone from one of the most popular franchises in the world to a cultural landmark. After getting rid of Perlmutter, Feige was able to introduce Captain Marvel and Black Panther, whose solo movies had previously been vetoed by Perlmutter....

Hedge funds pass away all the time. Hedge Fund Research of Chicago estimates that 326 went out of business in the first half of this year. But Amaranth isn’t just one of almost 9,000 hedge funds, it was favored by the likes of Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Lehman Brothers, which steered billions of dollars of clients’ money into it. Lehman–which, like Amaranth and the other players here, declined to talk to me–has told its clients it got some of their money out....

A CDC internal briefing document reviewed by ABC News shows an estimated 1.1 million people who received the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine came back for a third, unauthorized booster dose. The report does not include individuals who received the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine and then got a booster. Florida, Ohio, California, Illinois and Tennessee had the highest number of people choosing to get a booster shot, according to the document....

But now, while states and cities across the country have already taken action, in addition to President Donald Trump, it’s questionable whether federal lawmakers will be able to get legislation to the president’s desk at all this year. One month has passed since George Floyd died after a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on his neck May 25. But as House Democrats on Thursday prepared to pass their own police reform bill, federal proposals in Congress to rein in cops’ use of force were at a stalemate following Senate Democrats the day prior blocking a measure from their GOP colleagues....

Shanks inspired Luffy, and the latter decided to become the Pirate King, just like Gol D. Roger. For a long time, Roger’s past remained a mystery, but Oden’s flashback provided the fans with just enough to form an opinion about him. Gol D. Roger lived 24 years prior to the beginning of One Piece, and at the time of his execution, he was the most famous man in the entire world....

With that said, there are actually quite a few Devil Fruit abilities that can counter Akainu in some way. Updated May 4, 2022, by George Voutiritsas: Akainu first appeared during the Summit War at Marineford, and, during the timeskip, was promoted to the rank of Fleet Admiral....
